Haitian Victor

Trapped inside the darkness Time is not on my side I hear all the others screaming I’m here losing every bit of my mind Clutter all around me A slither of light on my face So close to get my freedom Too close to the end of the race Life here has not been easy And this doesn’t seem to be fair I’ve always prayed to the Father From which cometh all of my help Devastation is on the horizon I smell the flesh rotting all around People’s dreams shattered in a moment Faith is fading, as I scream out loud How could this happen? Why did this happen to us? Not much has ever been good here Who shall we ever trust? I can hear the fighting But, there’s nothing I can do I listen to the heartache of People knowing there’s no choice to choose The hardship, the hunger, the frustrations The voices of people from different nations Complications all around Lives are lost by the minute As this natural ground shaker, shook us down Faith is the hope of all things seen And the evidence of things unseen I’m just calling the Lord dear God on high! Please don’t forsake me! I am stronger than this battle And, as long as I see break of day I will hold fast and not shatter But know that the stones will have to roll away! kashan fields 01-15-2010 ©
