The Horror The Horror

When you see a picture of this magnitude and then you hear or read about the things Rush Limbaugh is saying you realize one thing this world is fucking crazy. And in the back of my mind I keep hearing Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now saying over and over again "The Horror, The Horror".

Forvever Doomed Haiti

Columbus found the New World
claimed everything he could see
then killed off all the natives
in what would become poor Haiti

filled with fields of horror
sugar cane meant lots of money
from Africa they were transported
the tortured slaves of lush Haiti

born from a slave rebellion
then swaddled in misery
should have been a paradise
this nation that's called Haiti

Dictator after Dictator
corruption and poverty
forever how they suffer
the wretched souls of sad Haiti

a seven point oh earthquake
such destruction a monstrosity
damn how they continually suffer
the impoverished down in Haiti

I do not have the answers
the question is asked perpetually
how do we fix the problems
that plague forever doomed Haiti
