Haiti Screams

Haiti Screams

A Poem by Jillian Alexis

These tides wash away these secrets

and we are bare

Like the trees during winter

our true colors are visible

We are bruised

             battered

             and broken

You didnt want to listen before

and the pictures you see now, show nothing of the pain we feel

Starving for this cruel worlds acceptance

All around us these already cracked walls, they crumble

And we are no longer silent

We are a dying nation screaming,

Our only hope is that this time, you shall hear us

This is very deep, depicting the desperation of the already broken society after something has occured to destroy them more. Great write.

So profoundly powerful and stirring, your words create a vivid picture of the suffering of this precious people. You've given me a deeply emotional experience, connecting me to this crumbling world... Amazing.
