Oh! Haiti, my beautiful island of evergreens.Beautiful beaches,indigo oceans, and amicable people.
You were once like an orchid where nature metamorphosed into butterfly and linger upon your buds.
yes, you were a geographical delight The location for the sweetest mangoes, sugar canes, bananas, and much more.
Forget not the head spinning sight of the Citadel and the palais Sans Souci Haiti, how did you transform from a delight to a martyr with deep sorrows?
You now in a masquerade with hidden beauties You're walking on desert sand with a scarcity of water, people raid on coconut water, and pancakes of dust become everyday meals.
Tears in my eyes, I say this is the lowest time for my country; but the dawn will come smiling once more, and Haiti will rise, yes, Haiti will rise again!
There's only one planet earth which hanged loosely in space.
There are differences in all things, like size, length, color, height, and etc; that's what beautify the world.
Oh! We belong to one race, the human race. Like pied daisies, human beings also vary in skin shades.
It's a matter of pigmentation. A little more or less of a protein called melanin Like in the USA we are "One Nation Under God", the same we are "one people under the azure sky".
It takes reasoning to help us find our similarities It's not a coincidence that human blood is red once oxygenated; why some people hate each other because of skin color which is not selectively chosen but is bestowed by God?
These differences keep the world interesting and beautiful So, let us love one another and void ourselves of racism.
