Long Haitians Poems

Haiti is a country that I love dearly
That's where I was born
That's where I took my first healthy breath
That's where I had my first inspiration
That's where I saw the first birds
There I saw the first...

Under the bridge in Del Rio are stopped, stuck, stationed
Thousands of migrant Haitians, not Ukrainians
Frankly, if they were the latter, they wouldn’t be sanctioned
Detained, abased, mistreated and deported like Haitians
Like herds of cattle to detention...

Everybody desires something from our beloved Haiti.
Everybody is stealing from our embattled country.
The same individuals or goons, who are complaining,
Are the ones conniving, backstabbing and sabotaging,
The proverbial verbiage is that Haiti is poor/ destitute.
Our haters...

Tell me more about democracy
Nobody is a fool
Tell me more about dichotomy
Go ahead! I am cool
Tell me more about racism
Nobody is a tool
Tell me more about fascism
Tell me more lies about a rule

Let Haiti be absolutely free
Haiti is the father of Freedom and Liberty

And the slave trade in the western hemisphere
And in the world
The first to practice...

The perplexity of my complexion
Is a God given blessin’
But many have been stressin’
Life’s annoying lessons
That’s in need of correction
But in no need of perfection
Due to the detection
Of affection
In my isolated section,
The convection
Of my teachings
Is telling...

These are not events that took place very far in the past
These are obviously ongoing racial gaffes and contrasts
Where human beings are bombarded and mistreated
Where human beings are veraciously discriminated
Against, where politicians with supercilious smiles
And...

I'm on "Probation"
I can't catch any "Cases"
Cause they goin give me a "Equation"

Of "Mike"
And "Jasons"
An put nails in my face like "Hellraiser"

Bon appétit to all my fellow Haitians and friends,
Who will be drinking, sipping, savoring poertysoup joumou,
Which is made of squash, neck bones, macaroni, oxtails,
Carrots, yams, celery, parsley, and countless vegetables.

This is a powerful, yet historical...

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...

Army versus Navy
Navy versus Army
Army versus Army
Navy versus Navy
Stop, stop the division
Stop the separation
Stop the genocide
The bombs, the pesticide
And the bullets are killing
Women, children, our offspring
Elderly and unarmed civilians
Americans versus Americans
Haitians versus Haitians
Ranchers versus immigrants
Peasants...

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...

For John Heck's Beatlemania competition.  To the tune of "For No One" from the Revolver 
album.

The Haitians find their homes no longer stand as families fear their future

They struggle...

Royal blood from afar,
far from Africa,
Africa a torn and raped
land by European hands

First land of freedom to rise,
but segregated by a mountainside
and corrupt politicians on both
sides by greed and neglect, when all
anyone needed...

Precious Haiti

Haiti sounds like hate I
Rhymes with Baby doc
And Papa doc

Feels like
Made in USA
But Unlike the Mariel Boatlift
The people are excluded from
Entering

Black 
Dark
White teeth
African
Looking
French and Creole speaking
People

Haitians
Unwanted
 
Haiti
Shook the world
Fought and won
A great war
Against the...

The way my mind works
  may or may not be like yours
Yet I think there's something universal
  here, in the proverbial pot to be stirred

My brain extrapolates from the smallest things

One island;
one people, two nations
Dominican Republic
Haiti
An island split in two
by European colonialism,
a most vile economic mechanism
One part of the island
was controlled by France
The other part of the island
was controlled by Spain
The saddest part of this...
