The Island nation of Haiti has been hit my a Devastating Quake, I dedicate this poem to the people of this country! "May God be with you"

"REMEMBER HAITI & ITS WOUNDED PEOPLE"



REMEMBER THE REST

Below this rumble
I try to mumble
A word or two, but its all a whisper
Above me is a heavy slab
Slapping over my face
My heart is making a whisper
Before i weather
and like a feather, in the air
I will soon disappear

Now that you have heard my whisper
Worry no more about me,
Soon I will be gone
Abeit painfuly
Am i lucky though?
I will no more see this light
Neither will i ever see
The wounded motherland

In the next rumble
I can feel the cries
All natures hostage
Before the slab slaps me
I remember the lovely motherland
Before the angle of death
Flapped and flapped
As he neared Haiti


Cough....cough cough!

The dust is choking me,
I can feel the slabs smoldering me
Remember my brothers and sisters
Remember my wife
Remember my husband
Remember my son
Remember my daughter
and my parents too,
Remember Haiti, and its devastated
thousands, dilapidated, wounded and shaken

Remember,
The quake just struck once
And you can act once
And help Haiti overcome the disaster

Cough.....cough, coooough!
Over to you.....!

"Two Hours Before" Wishes the people of Haiti quick recovery from this disaster.

Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince this week. Thousands of lives have been lost, many are still missing, and hundreds of thousands of people have been affected. Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive says he believes more than 100,000 people may have been killed.

The earthquake has destroyed much of the already fragile and overburdened infrastructure in the most densely populated part of the country. A massive and immediate international response is needed to provide food, water, shelter, and medical supplies to the people.
