Tragedy In the Tropics
like a hungry monster
devastating was the earthquake
swallowing Haiti
leaving total destruction in it's wake
the dead and dying lay about
from Port Au Prince to Leogane
mass graves being dug
while this tropical island screams in agony
the warm winds of desperation
blow along the severed highways
sad souls stranded without food and water
hoping to see another day
