H.A.I.T.I.

Homes are destroyed
A terrible catastrophe leaves families without warmth or food
It shakes down poor children and takes their parents 
The survivors are struggling for another meal... and the beast,
It leaves utter devastation behind but echoes with its leftovers

Great write but sad what happen, Donate money to HAITI to help out children with no food, family's without homes, and elderly on the street with no food or warmth.
