A Cry For Hope

My heart goes out to the people of Haiti and those around the world that suffered to a painful death!

Oh great river of blood,
why do you flow with such pleasure?
Why is your current so strong?
Beneath my feet are the bones and skulls and arteries
pouring out to you!

Oh great river of blood,
why are the boaters coasting with glee?
Why are the souls of life living?
You cast away hopeand dreams
pouring out to you!

Oh great river of blood,
why are my tears so insignificant to thee?
Why are there cells of youth
in your body as death continues to flow?
Oh great river of blood,
lives are shed pouring out to you!

Oh great river of blood,
I plead for drought;
I plead for descending shores
of blood shed no longer Pouring out to you!

Dedicated to the people in Haiti
