Haiti Rhymes With Liberty

Haiti rhymes with LIBERTY Ayiti rhymes with DIGNITY Haiti rhymes with BEAUTY Ayiti rhymes with DECENCY Which is the first step to proudly Hoist the slippery hills or climb the rocky Mountains of fairness and democracy. Haiti is the first hard fought free Country of African ancestry In the world. Haiti has endured For being brave, daring and matured. Unfortunately, powerful imperialist countries Have ways to impoverish or use tricky tactics To ambush such noble ideas about human equality In God's name, that all humans are born to be free. I can go on and on, please read fully the history Of Haiti, before throwing the word ‘poverty' In the face of humanity, before adding more misery To the cause or to the throat of a brave land of resiliency. If you knew the true and the unedited story Of such incredible oasis, you'll feel sorry For this Haiti which has been backstabbed by friends And humiliated by enemies with toxic soppy hands. Haiti rightfully earned and deserved a huge break Remove the gooey or baited traps and the wired barriers Let Haitians swim safely, freely and justly in the tropical lake ‘Cause Haiti has to catch up the years in arrears. Haiti rhymes with LIBERTY Not with kakistocracy or slavery Not with misery or naughty Not with mobocracy or insecurity And not with shabby or poverty Yet Haiti will remain steady and sunny.
