Everybody Is Destroying Haiti

Everybody is destroying Haiti Please stop, stop, and quit. Give the country A rich autumn. Too many bandits, vandals Too many thefts, lootings, too many crises and scandals On this impoverished and exploited island Give Haiti a chance to be and live better. Give our Land A break with too much crimes, violence and injustice Haiti needs real peace, real love and real justice Why are all of you hurting Haiti so bad? Haitians, please stop being so sad and mad Haiti needs everybody's love and compassion Please help Haiti in this time of destruction Hate only knows how to burn, kill and destroy Stop the rancor, put out the fire and bring joy Haitians, wake-up to a new beginning and era Get rid of the bad seeds and unite with the Diaspora Unite to fight against corruption and waste of the aids Be positive! Be ready to get rid of all sorts of plagues Please stop the violence and use sheer common sense Haiti needs a new and better season, a divine weapon To defeat death itself, bad administration and corruption Haitians, help our nation to be an oasis, a starry beacon Unite to be better! Unite to help each other and to dance Put more spices in the melting pot and spray more incense Unite in this time of crisis; and reject death and violence.
