Haitian Revolution

Abstract images to the debris of micro fibers. Down to the Haitian survivors praying for Red Cross donations rather than meaningless conversations and commotions, Across tech tonic structures islands break off, continents sides of earthquakes, sizzling millions of years with a side of ketchup as condiment Natural bloodshed delicate as a cracked vanilla wafer moving and subduing natural disasters with a waiver 1st born protected on the doorstep with lamb’s blood, a sanctified remnant of raiment Oceans swallowing nations in containment. Countries bruise, ail, and swell. Broken, body bones, normal day vertical swing parallel. High land separating bodies of water and 3 sides of the peninsula . Drowns, in the brown decay of metamorphic rock and hardened clay. Day after the tomorrow, tirades un-tranquil in sorrow. Statures of broken individuals in full robust Feed the struggling souls On the television reveals reflections of us
