IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE THE TEAR STAINED FACES, DISPLACED FROM LOST LOVED ONES IN THE WAKE OF A DEADLY EARTHQUAKE. I HEAR THEM CRYING FOR THE DEAD AND DYING ALL WHILE TRYING TO BE STRONG AND STAY ALIVE THEMSELVES TO CARRY ON.
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE A COUNTRY, BATTERED AND BLOODY FROM MANY WOUNDS SOME INFLICTED WAY BEFORE THE ADVENT OF NATRUAL DISASTER. I REMEMBER THESE PEOPLE WHO DARE TO BE FREE AND CALL NO MAN MASTER! THERE BLOOD FLOWS WITHIN ME THEIR TEARS WET MY CHEEKS AND THEIR STRENGTH IS THE REASON THE MESSENGER SPEAKS!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE THE BABIES WEAK AND HUNGRY, WONDERING WHEN WILL HELP COME, I SEE THE MOTHERS STOIC IN THEIR RESOLVE NOT TO GIVE IN TO DESPAIR TELLING THEM “IT WILL COME”!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE FATHERS FRANTICALLY SEARCHING, CALLING OUT TO FAMILIES BURIED IN THE RUBBLE. I SEE THE MEN WHOSE LOVED ONES WHERE FOUND WATCHFULLY GUARDING KEEPING THEM AWAY FROM TROUBLE!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE THE PAIN ON THEIR FACES, THE WEARINESS OF THEIR STRIDE. I SEE THE COURAGE AND WILL TO SURVIVE AS WELL AS THE FEAR THEY STRUGGLE TO HIDE!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE THE MULTITUDES LOST, TOO SOON THEIR LIFES JOURNEY HAS ENDED. I AM REMINDED THAT TIME IS SHORT “BE CAREFUL HOW YOU SPEND IT”!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE THE PAIN, I FEEL ITS GRIP ON SOULS WHO ADD YET ANOTHER CHAPTER TO THEIR STRUGGLE. AND I MARVEL AT THE FACT THAT THEY WILL NOT GIVE IN TO DESPAIR DESPITE THE STRUGGLE!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE, I FEEL THE HEARTS BEAT FAINT AND FAST. A HARDSHIPS PRESSED UPON AND ENTIRE NATION CONSTANTLY, YET THEY REMAIN STEADFAST! THEIR COURAGE IN THE FACE OF THEIR PLIGHT QUIETS MY COMPLAINTS AND INSPIRES ME!
IN MY MINDS EYE I SEE, MY BROTHER, MY SISTER I SEE
“HAITI”
