Everybody Is Destroying Haiti Poem by Hebert Logerie

Everybody is destroying Haiti
Please stop, stop, quit. Give the country
A rich autumn. There are too many bandits, vandals
Too many lootings, thefts, too many crises and scandals
On this impoverished and exploited island
Give Haiti a chance to live better. Give our land
A break with too much violence and injustice
Haiti needs peace, love and real justice
Why are all of you hurting Haiti so bad?
Haitians, please stop being so sad and mad
Haiti needs everybody's love and compassion
Please help Haiti in this time of destruction
Hate only knows how to burn, kill and destroy
Stop the rancor, put out the fire and bring joy
Haitians, wake-up to a new beginning and era
Get rid of the bad seeds and unite with the Diaspora
Unite to fight against corruption and waste of the aids
Be positive! Be ready to get rid of all sorts of plagues
Please stop the violence and use sheer common sense
Haiti needs a new and better season
Haitians, help our nation be an oasis, a starry beacon
Unite to be better! Unite to help each other and to dance
Unite in this time of crisis; and reject death and violence.
