Haiti Screams

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

A great poem. I like how you portrait the view of the people of Haiti in this harsh times. you describe very well the pain and suffering they are going through. The need for help and all the fear they must have had when it happened. I like your stile of writing. thanks for sharing!

heartrending~ brilliant poetic relaying each prism of pain encapsulated by the the topping of this tragedy on a top of a tragedy that had been escalating long before the natural disaster~

Wow, great poem. It's kind of sad . . .

[Bachman]

It reminds me greatly of the news reels that have been showing, the stories that have been told, and all the lives lost. This is a great poem, very heartfelt, and very deep. This is a touch topic to write about and not be insensitive, but I think you were able to write something that everyone can read and appreciate. Very good, very good. It's well written and well expressed. You can almost place yourself in someone shoes as it was happening.

The photos coming from Haiti show a hard and difficult life. Your poem speak the truth. I hope Haiti can come back and be stronger. So much life lost. A powerful poem.
