 Haiti’s Run on . . .
 
 I dream of a Haiti that used to be
 in a time that is no longer mine
 in a world that no longer exist
 in a place that is full of distaste for
 a culture with so much rapture that it
 succeeded and did not heed the telling
 of others to stop and crawl under a rock
 when instead they took up rocks as if
 they were arms and used them in battle to
 succeed and make real a dream for freedom
 but only to have that freedom still be
 only a dream because they are repressed
 by their own success in a time when the
 country should have been a mine of culture,
 growth, strength, and innovation but instead
 greed has choked the life out of the dream and
 the US makes it a nightmare when they
 spray through hoses and intercept boats
 filled with unleashed dreams of making reality
 better than what it had been in a time
 when things should have been different and
 now the hope of 200 years ago
 is lost in a war not against invaders
 but against ourselves because power
 has been transferred and greed has been absorbed
 and vision has been lost only to leave
 a people blind to what needs to be done . . .
 until the cycle breaks-
 
 Freedom is the only hope that continues to run through our veins.
