Savage Raping

Of A Queen

 

Our serene

Haitian Queen,

        Surrounded

By the warmest

Aqua blue water,

Your people stagger To their feet

With dismay and Emptiness

In their eyes.

 

 

Trying to understand the squalor

And stench of death that’s cursed

Your beautiful land.

 

 

Mother Nature’s

Powerful force has

Struck your

Angelic face,

Like the balled fist

Of a mighty

Drug czar.

 

 

Your bronze 

Earthen plates

Appear as if you’ve

Seized and twisted stubbornly

In a disheveled bed.

 

 

Violently protesting

The powerful hands,

That tied your sinewy

 Arms to the bedposts,

To savagely 

Rape you.

 

 

With greed and lust

In their hungry eyes

As they

Disgraced you.

 

 

 

They stole from you all of your

Beauty and plunder That your Gracious Mother Blessed

 You with at

Your birth.

 

 

How your creator,

Hangs his head

In sorrow now.

 

 

Like a hostile father,

He seeks revenge,

His mind spins with Questions,

As he blames

Himself.

 

 

Where did I go wrong?

 

 

Why wasn’t I more

Protective of my Cherished

Caribbean Princess?

what a powerful emtional bold write I loved it-- :)

[Dilan Gray]

I love the images, very blunt and honest.

This is my favourite poem of yours. It's ambiguous, a clear yet complex metaphor, and you DIDN'T FALL INTO A RHYME SCHEME! I'll be honest, I was biting my lip the entire way through. As well written as your poetry is, your tendency to fall into a rhyme scheme halfway through usually degrades the poem for me. This however, was immaculate. Very well done, though perhaps you might like to make the font a bit smaller.

Wow very nice, very meaninful as well. I strongly agree with Coyote.

[Arsenic Nemesis]

This is bloody deep and meaningful indeed! I loved it, really well written and presented - and some of the images were so powerful, just wow... Amazing job on this, keep it up!~

[Moflo]

Wow this was very deep and meaningful. I loved your descriptions and I love the message hidden underneath. Great write, really.

Haiti is just one example of a forgotten problem. I was in Honduras after the hurricane in 1996-1997. Honduras lost all her land to grow fruit. Big USA companies told the Honduras government can't help you and walks away. Japan came in and assisted the Honduras people. USA companies are cold and heartless. Haiti had a lot of needed resources and produce they can produce. A powerful poem. USA can spend 1.2 trillion on war. Places like New Orleans and Haiti are not the priority. Thank you for this poem.

even just reading the title of this poem caused me to wince. i know i wince easily but this was just...cold...
you sure have captured the essence of what's happened to Haiti in this very deep poem, this sure runs deep into the soul.
awesome work!
