@ChosenMunye It's a Somali rhyme kids sing. Part 1: Young beautiful girl wearing tiger-patterned light, thin clothing. Tell me your name. she says: My name is Sharaf Sharaf Haaji, it is. Those beautiful houses I live beside. Somebody please tell them give them a clue of you, Zamzam, who shines like the morning light like the scales of a colorful fish, while you were gone on Hajj had many memories. Your friend, Aisha died of love. at long last [I realized] both I and the camels need love.

[WiskeyDickBomber]

@97sophia12 Because Canada is shit and no one aspires to be Canadian.
