They’ve stripped you of your right to speak
They’ve restricted your rights to protest
They’ve silenced your representatives
They’ve ignored your stated wishes
Are you goddamn woke yet?

Throaths clogged by fear
Eyes screaming from pain
Faces emptied by dread
Shouting without words
Roaring in the void
Voices bereft of sound
Gazes screeching in agony
Bodies frozen by terror
In Haiti, people are dying from life.

I’ve often tasted my own tears
Grown by my moods
Spilled by my emotions
Never have any servings
Tasted the same
So many flavors of tears
Every time I cry
I taste my tears
Every time I taste
A different flavor
Of my own
Tears

No, it was not so long ago
How do I know ?
They are still alive those who yelled at a 6 year old girl walking to school
They are still alive those who fought to keep Black folks from voting
They are still alive those who set the dogs on Black folks

One of the things I am most proud of about my kid, is that he is not afraid to challenge me on my opinions.

Why are humans so cruel
What’s wrong with our species
Is it something in our DNA
Is it something biological
Or do we just thrive on hate
Are we addicted to this hate

Though I was born, took my first steps, went to school, worked in this country, I lived in this country, I have NEVER even for a second, that I was home in this country, I have never felt safe, never felt I belonged, never felt wanted, you can’t even imagine such a thing.

How do I know you’re not a free thinker?
Because you do not think, you repeat things you’ve heard and read
Because you cannot defend your views with your own words
Because presented with evidence, you refuse to change your mind.

Everyone wants to be good
Feeling empathy is fine and dandy
But rather useless if not expressed
Be on your guard for opportunities
Watch for spaces you can fill
Do more than one good deed today
Do a million ones
Then do some more
Feeling empathy is fine and dandy
But rather useless if not expressed
Be on your guard for opportunities

Tears held back
Fall softly inwards
Watering hearts
So love grows
Aches beneath skin
Spread slowly
Towards the brains
So empathy grows
Emotions grow
From emotions
If you can’t feel

I don’t want to save the world
I want to save what we call huminity
Not from the effects of climate change
But from the effects of missing empathy
I don’t want to save the world
What use to me is such a world
With or without me it will be fine
Different maybe but it will survive

As soon as you finish you will go back to your life and haiti won’t even remain for 2 minutes in the archives of your memories. Life for you will go on, as death continue its harvest in haiti.

Ghosts of faded bruises
Echoes of past pains
Dulled by time
Under the surface lingers
Temporary memory losss
Half forgotten interactions
Bullies of emotions

Do you know the real you
The one that lives inside of you
Only comes out when you let go
Of the control you hold over you
Do you know what you can do
When you lose control of you
Do you know that’s the real you
The you, you hide, inside of you
The one that lives inside of you
Only comes out when you let go
Of the control you hold over you
Do you know what you can do

It is one thing to choose not to have an abortion
Quite another to be denied one when in need
Carrying a viable fetus is quite different
Than carrying a non-viable one
The feel of a heartbeat under your hand,
is trauma when you know death comes at birth

All he had to do was lace his lies
With the dregs of grievances in your minds
He stirred in your hatred and resentments
Mixed in a couple of drops of your fears
Sprinkled with the contents of your discontent
The poison he feeds you every day
Is made with your very own ingredients

If you don’t see color tell me
Why is it that those who look like me
Are more far more likely to die of medical issues
That you and yours survive routinely ?
You are not color blind, you are malpractice blind

They do not ask for much.
Just the bare necessities of life
A few bottles of milk
A bag of diapers
Fever reducing medicine,
Hygiene products
A bowl of rice
A slice of bread
Drinkable water
They simply ask for what they need.
To survive until tomorrow

You dare to speak of freedom?
As you strike words from the books
As you remove books from libraries
As you threaten librarians and teachers?
You dare to speak of freedom?
As you interfere in medical care
As you condemn children to suffer
As you threaten doctors and nurses?
