Frantz Guerrier Poems

While earthworms build their lives
Men are fighting to untie their belts
We keep killing ourselves across time
Until we transform life to a strange hell.
...

Je réfléchis sur mon pays
Le sol natal de ma patrie
Et ses supplications
Et ses dépravations
...

Comme une fleur en pétale
La longue tige rose s'étale
Au beau milieu des foins
En un concert de refrains
...

Yèswa nan yon kochma
Mwen reve m kandida
Nan yon peyi fènwa
Ki plen fanm gwo dada
...

Si tu visites ma ville,
Retiens les détails de l'histoire
Les incendies et les crimes
L'affreux commerce des noirs
...

Yo di y ap travay pou lavi
Yo pote lespwa pou Ayiti
Poutan yo pete sous rayi
Nan divize frè menm peyi.
...

Anba lavil, nan tout ti vil
Nan tout lari, yo ap souri
Jamèdodo toujou sou do
Ak talon wo kou moun anwo
...

A gathering of various close siblings
Then, we all share the same strings
Up dreams, desires and communion
Each member swears to write his page
...

Tikrik tikrak deblozay
Tikrik tikrak dechoukay
Tikrik tikrak vòlè leta
Tikrik tikrak fè koudeta
...

Que de vies usurpées, que de promesses bafouées
Sur le sol sacré de de nos vaillants ancêtres
Que de luttes intestines diminuant notre pays
Comme un océan de tempetes agitées
...

Ma Mère Célia

Comme la mer, c'est l'étendue infinie dont on ne peut cerner l'horizon
Comme la mer, c'est le soleil doré qui se couche au crépuscule à l'occident
...

El caribeño
Nací bajo el sol del Caribe
Yo soy el niño del río y monte
Nunca tengo miedo del apagón,
...

Nou se imigran pòv
k ap chèche fè senkòb
Nou kwè nan fè jèfò
Nou kapab twouve lò
...

Se nan reve w mwen jui lanmou
Lòlòj mwen neye nan rapadou
Chalè siwo w twouble bon sans
Nan eseye konprann esans
...

The Best Poem Of Frantz Guerrier

Upside Down

While earthworms build their lives
Men are fighting to untie their belts
We keep killing ourselves across time
Until we transform life to a strange hell.

The world looks in real disarray
Extremists are searching for justice
They turn it to a big ashtray
Racists, then, cry down injustice.

Stands as a sole point of gravity,
Prejudice leads and shakes our society
It brings an ocean of crimes to drown us
And a continent of islands to live like wolves.

We smell blood and sorrow everywhere
When thugs and demagogues take power.

Frantz Guerrier Quotes

Si dwadelòm te respekte Tout moun ta gen kay pou rete Nou pa t ap peye pou lwaye Toupatou sou latè beni

Nan tout peyi sou latè Moun nwa toujou koupab Jistan yo jwenn yo inosan Men polis toujou gen rezon Menmsi yo benyen nan san an.
