Hebert Logerie (Haiti)

Everybody is afraid to speak out
No one dares to shout
Everybody is keeping silence
The heat is becoming too intense
This mess makes no sense
This is an absurd ambiance
Somebody must come out of the shell
To extinguish that burning hell
Everybody resorts to lie
No one wants to die
The days are attrited, the hours accounted
Everybody must stand up to be counted
This is the spirit of a true democracy
Do your share and I will do mine with bravery.

Let’s all clean in front of our abodes
Let’s all chase the rats, the mice, the toads
And the unwelcome beasts
So we can have our deserved peace
Everybody wants to go to heaven
But no one is willing to leave the grown children
In control of their own future
Let’s all improve the nature
The state of our neighborhood
Hence, the public will be in a better mood
The best way to make it is to pull together
Our resources and our collective experiences
Let’s not leave any rocks unturned in the trenches
Let’s all stay focus on the prize where all matter.
