Ahmed, really enjoyed reading your draft - some smashing imagery, esp. in the "major waves". You should know that I'm already telling virtual strangers that they MUST come back to Cardiff with me next year to see the show...

Heres A little free style poem which is not finished hope you enjoy it!!!!

The Narrator

 Entered through the fierce waves of Tiger Bay

Today many assumptions about the locals yesterday

Worked hard on the ships and created major waves in the UK

Created paths for the next generation. But will they stay?

 

Born in Wales which makes him a citizens

Sons of seamen who are proud Somali men

Who nurture there kids to be honourable honest men

Bilingual educated and helpful men

 

Who know there background ancestry linage and mothers tongue

going to the mosque and learning about the oneness of god

The creator of the universe is the one that makes hearts beat

I've left the past and thank god for not making me BAD
