Do we have any idea? Have we even got a clue? Can it be that we don't give a **** what others are going through. Are we so wrapped up in selfish mode? So devoted to our own. That we should sit back and watch as others are gnawed down to the bone. Should it be that our own offspring if they were cast away so far? Would we worry about that pipeline bringing fuel to run our car? Or would we stand aloft in horror as they were thrown unto the ground? Or for fuel thats cheap and plentiful, is it ok to make no sound? We hear about disasters. Tsunami strikes upon Japan. Earthquakes raging out in Haiti Watch death befall our fellow man. Throw donations in a bucket at the supermarket doors, then forget because of shopping. but we have paid towards their cause. Could you ever even fathom? Your children crying as they play, not for Barbies or Play-stations but for the pain to go away. Never asking for the latest made by Hamleys or Mattel rather just an handfull of food to help beat the starvation battle. Wash it down with poison water from a river filled with **** or collect in rusty tin cans from a worn and stagnant pit. If this was the plight of our children things would surely be said. We would try to move a mountain rather than our young be dead. Could you ever really imagine? Could you ever really get, that a million hits on You-Tube turn endangered species into pets? What if someone could ask on face-book about your daughter or your son, saying"It looks so cute and cuddly, "go on e-bay and buy me one." If only we could all be happy, not feel a need to own the place. If we could learn to be contented by a childs smiling face. Treat the world with awe and wonder. Treat its creatures with respect. Treat each other in this same way. Treat nobody with neglect. Then perhaps we may push together, make our Governments do right. Let's lead the World with people power, no more starvation or blight. Let's be less materialistic let us have a life of worh Not by owning all we see, rather sharing this our earth.

It’s a new day dawning yet we’re still living in the past Embracing colonialism and saving the rest for last You know, the rest meaning the other cultures because you think they don’t matter But it’s time for that glass of classism and racism to shatter It’s funny how when I go to University I’m rarely taught by people who look like me No matter how much the white lecturers may try, they will never understand my cultural identity So don’t get mad if I doze off in your lecture because I just can’t relate If I speak up I may start the great debate Learning about Ancient Greeks and those who lived in Rome is fine But what about the indigenous people of the Caribbean or stories of what went through the slave’s mind? University is more than just learning about what makes Western culture great There’s more to this world that we can truly celebrate America and Haiti both had a revolution So if we want to make a change we need to come up with a solution It’s a new day dawning and we plan to decolonise Despite our obstacles, we will rise

We are the stars that you ignore in search for brighter lights to guide you home Safe and warm and ignorant you stay We were the children born from orchids, into a meadow and our lives have dried up, weeds thriving on our desperate longing for home The only music we hear are the sounds of death: gunshots and screams the genre that only people who have a warm smile to come home to can listen to at a music store We are the people of Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Libya, The Congo, Haiti, India, Bangladesh, North Korea The diaspora who no longer have roots anywhere on earth we have been dug up and shat out by the soil that we sprung from Our kin have scratched blood from our skin We are the forgotten, the avoidees, the people who make you uncomfortable who force you to leave your little world so painstakingly built for you to live in and die as a result of Go, live the lives you were destined for while we dream of them Go, have the freedom you think you have and we think we will get We are goldfish in a bowl that has never been cleaned We will never escape

AMERICA, THE BEAUTIFUL? Were you aware that our nation opposed Haiti's revolution for democracy in the early 1800s; that our nation's war against Mexico that began in 1846 resulted in our taking half of Mexico for ourselves; that our nation defeated Spain ostensibly to liberate Cuba, but actually established a military base on the island and furtively gained de facto control of its puppet government; that our nation seized Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and Guam; that our nation had fought a brutal war to subjugate the Phillipines; that our nation had opened Japan for trade with us with threats and gunboats; that our nation created an "Open Door" policy with China to exploit it economically; that our nation engineered a revolution against Colombia to create the nation of Panama so we could build the canal through it; that our nation sent 5,000 Marines in 1926 to Nicaragua to counter their democratic revolution; that our nation in 1916 intervened in the Dominican Republic for the fourth time; that our nation in 1915 intervened in Haiti for the second time, and so on. Imperialism, not democracy, steered our nation's decisions and movements. Did any of you learn about, let alone study extensively, any of these flagitious Ameican acts and policies as you sat and squirmed in your high school American history class? My surmise is that you did not. But I bet you were required in at least one of your classrooms sometime between 1st and 12th grade to stand at attention, as it were, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance as you saluted the flag in the corner. My riposte: What does it matter if our flags are waving, if our spirits are flagging? Epilogue: Most importantly, never forget that it was the two evils of slavery and genocide that propelled our nation into what once was the most influential nation on Earth.

it's 8:00 somewhere in Washington D.C. and the global selection committee has made its picks: for the 473rd time all the number one seeds are filled by countries that break the most rims and shatter the most glass. here we have the U.S of the North American region taking on Haiti, cos the poorest countries always place no higher than 14. China of the Asia region has drawn Nepal, Israel gets Palestine, and Italy pulls Ethiopia. There are no African countries- they didn't make the tournament this year. No problem tho, the selection committee figures they've been beaten up too many times to even make a layup. Games start tmrw so grab your favorite basketball merchandise and keep the channel set. There will be no upsets so don't bother pulling for the underdog. They've already been neutered, anyway.

Our so-empty lives are filled with pointless plans, Every decision impacts life, and sometimes death. The earth split - death was in that sometimes day, Where unending need became the end of their world. Montana was my home-from-home in Haiti, Art deco paradise, an instant hellish grave. What of my shoeshine man with ***** shoes? Two hundred dead too hard, one is possible. Little things we do to change the world, The smallest possibilities in this nightmare, Saving lives each day with lifeline texts, Today we are the hand of God in hell.

I believe the whole world is crying From the trash, population, killing  and violence People killing her babies and wearing it for fashion Killing her babies and calling it profit Haiti felt her anger on a 7 point scale And sometimes that anger washes up on land The Midwest feels her wrath from February to April Tossing houses and cars all in the air The south feels her pains every summer When she cracks her whips and yells like thunder The north gets to know her heart when she freezes over And The west may think they have it perfect there But you can hardly see with all the debris in the air And here in Texas we get it the worse cause she keeps us hot ,dry and our land filled with thirst Some brush it off cause they see a rainbow The birds chrip and the breeze blows But she's not so different from you and I Cause don't you smile after a good cry

how many protests have you watched now? how many devolving into riots? via violent actors, on either side what was gained, for those we lost? was it in vain? did the pay outweigh the cost? or was our venture defunct? would civil disobedience had been better sought? or a more brutal insurrection, to rival those we've been taught? just do like they'd wish and lay down and die

Stepping through the building site of El Rancho, The faded glory of the best hotel in Haiti once. I think of “Old Times” when this was Paradise, And a Rolls Royce collected you at the airport. A seedy casino, neglect, an earthquake later, Rats the size of cats show you to your room, And “home from home” this is definitely not, Everything turns to dust in the end, it seems. Even us.

When earth shatters at the door way Cracks slowly widen My heart does not waver God is by my side My tears flow to moisten the ground To make the mud come together Rebuild the walls that have fallen My heart does not waver Cause through all the heartache and pain My God will lead the way I place my hand in his To lead me out of the darkest hours My heart does not waver Though love ones around me Go to a better home My heart does not waver It shall be through the memories That the Love of them In the light we will shine on My heart will not waver No Fears, No Hatred, No Fist To Throw God Is My All My Heart Will Never Waver (upwc)  2010-  Zenobia Lee/LadyZ710     1/14/2010

When earth shatters at the door way Cracks slowly widen My heart does not waver God is by my side My tears flow to moisten the ground To make the mud come together Rebuild the walls that have fallen My heart does not waver Cause through all the heartache and pain My God will lead the way I place my hand in his To lead me out of the darkest hours My heart does not waver Though love ones around me Go to a better home My heart does not waver It shall be through the memories That the Love of them In the light we will shine on My heart will not waver No Fears, No Hatred, No Fist To Throw God Is My All My Heart Will Never Waver (upwc)  2010-  Zenobia Lee/LadyZ710     1/14/2010

Sound the horn of the Maroon, My people have lost their voices, Bring Jesus back to walk on water, The bricks crushed my people’s legs. Get a cup of water from River Babylon, The dirt is biting my people’s faces, Let Mohammed ascend to Heaven once more, It’s dark, my people need His blessings. Tell *Ceres to come plant a seed, My people are starving, no food to eat, Tell *Tlaloc to please shake the skies, Rain drops, my people are thirsty. Go tell this to the world, send them our cries- The Earth has turned on their sister, little Haiti. *Ceres-goddess of agriculture *Tlaloc- Aztec rain god

Letter from little Haiti
Sound the horn of the Maroon, My people have lost their voices, Bring Jesus back to walk on water, The bricks crushed my people’s legs. Get a cup of water from River Babylon, The dirt is biting my people’s faces, Let Mohammed ascend to Heaven once more, It’s dark, my people need His blessings. Tell *Ceres to come plant a seed, My people are starving, no food to eat, Tell *Tlaloc to please shake the skies, Rain drops, my people are thirsty. Go tell this to the world, send them our cries- The Earth has turned on their sister, little Haiti. *Ceres-goddess of agriculture *Tlaloc- Aztec rain god

Venting. They never see the hollow me.. deleted twitter, but i want you guys to follow me.. Usually up late, worrying about my luck, wait.. there's a starving child somewhere.. meanwhile i just ate.. ****** *** my phone bills high, And my ex girl is taken... meanwhile a small girl in Nepal still feels her world shakin... Going 80 on the freeway, i just wanna bowl now.. While the folk down in Philly prayed the train would slow down... Bothered by the shade of a new building... while people in Haiti are still building.. still building... while i buy building blocks for my nephew, hes 1. while the people down in Baltimore burning buildings for fun... really? burning building for fun? Whys the CVS big, but the school with no funds? but they say the solution is, taking the guns... they took the guns in Chicago, but left fatherless sons. Eyebrows on fleek but societies bleak. the devil takes a seat in a heavenly street.. now were all cursed, but im watching netflix on my sofa.. Chilling bumping Sosa, living by the park where they ***** my neighbor Rosa.. Gotta remind myself daily...that im blessed to a fault.. because theres stillborn babies, whose heads rest in a vault.. boys in Africa begging for bread, while i toast my ***** on the beach enjoying summer the waters too cold to swim though.. while in New Orleans they had to jump in regardless.. but all my worry is, if my sister can pass her BAR test.. So next time i wanna vent under my AC vent... i stop and think, **** i dont even have to pay rent.. I dont gotta work doubleshifts and im never hungry.. plus a got a couple people who really love me.. So.. Next time that i wanna complain.. Ill scale my struggle on a real measure of pain. -afj

South of the border west of the sun, Cluttered emptiness cannot fill the hole. Bridges fell in anger replaced by loneliness, Murakami makes our languishing love raw. The reflective silence eats into my soul. The hell in the empty hello from Haiti, Wanting you but I am on a different plane, Knowing needs, the threads of our tapestry. You my missing part I have been looking for Love expressed in my doubt of past escape. Coming back to you the fragile love of my life, Bringing balance as my past pain takes flight. We know the house of cards has fallen down, Seeking new foundations for living loving life, Can this "best thing" open a door to our future? Smiling eyes become the windows to our heart.

Age 13 your heart called out for attention Bed sheets stained with your innocence Every tear flooding out the cotton fibers of your pillows New Orleans had it bad with Katrina Yet your tsunami desires for love Hit harder than Haiti's tsunami Quicker than the loss of life in Pompeii I'm sorry age matters in this world I'd take you in my arms Hold you close and hope your wings develop In the safety of my nesting heart Age 15 and you're already being considered a ***** Tattooed, branded with the titles of **** ***** And the constant question of guys 4 years older "Can you **** my **** I'm sorry I was never given the chance to love you Tell you how much you mean To me and my world of death and pain I understand 17 years old and I'm labeled a psychopath Only because I love the sight of horror I'm crazy because I dissected an already dead cat Insane because I stabbed my brother with his own knife We're outcast in today's society Because we don't conform to the fashions The styles of tomorrow Instead we bask in the glory of our demise Praying to every god in every book To take the blade another 6 cm deeper To have the alcohol in our liver Erode the burning emotions We were blessed to have yet cursed to never be reciprocated I'm sorry I was never given the chance to love you I would have loved you the way an angelic demon like yourself Always dreamed of since the age of 6 Shame you're a thousand miles away Dancing on the rose pedals that wilted on your grave I should have sent a bouquet You would have known you were loved

I'm Sorry I Wasn't Given The Chance To Loved You

This love is so restless It's making us reckless 99.9% of the time Oh but baby you're mine...you're mine We sip our way into the wee hours of day Drinking every bit of champagne Hoping to sustain Dying embers of the flame Take me back to the night we missed our flight We were lying in the sand Playing games of naked twister unplanned Every demand was issued like a command Call me crazy but I loved each reprimand One day maybe I'll be your leading lady Until then, baby don't call me baby I lost my soul somewhere down in Haiti Love me like crazy I was losing the fight Holding tight to the edges of fragile delight Moaning between every bite You had me trembling at the increase Racing fast like lightening towards release Prime and ready to please But only if you please My only goal is to appease Raising the heat by degrees Wearing what's left of my chemise I'm far from a trainee, A tease waiting anxiously on my knees One day maybe I'll be your leading lady Until then, baby don't call me baby I lost my soul somewhere down in Haiti Love me like crazy Love me like crazy... © 2014 Peach

Oh I pray for change for something new in my life But when it comes its not as I imagined, I'll curse and curse the skies I beg for forgiveness with the taste of whisky still on my Tongue And that last puff of pipe tobacco still filling my lungs I pray for hope and strength I’ll never apply when the time arises I'll demand to see the light though when I do I'll shield my eyes claiming its too bright Oh I wanna believe lord I wanna believe with just the right amount of conviction that I don't have to practice what I preach So I can pick apart everyone and reveal their smallest of flaws Then turn the other way when I myself become guilty of them all I want to fund the hungry of Africa but I spent my last dollar on this diamond crested watch And I want to provide aid to those in haiti but it requires vaccination and I just can't stand shots Oh I’m proud of freedom and this glorious promise land Proud to be such a religious, caring, American
