Other article tools Haiti
An earthquake ravish island
Once the populace for cruise ships
Now devastated completely leveled
Millions homeless living in the street
Waiting hopefully for relief items
Grief stricken looters hunt for food
The desperate fall to their knees
Begging god to help them
Children singing songs dancing in the streets
Trying to cope and endure the trials of destruction
Dead loved ones piled high in the streets
Buried in mass graves no record of them process
Babies pulled from collapsed buildings
Children pass through the arms of rescuer
Adults carried away to safety on stretchers
Survivors praising god for the safe return of their love ones
The tortured asking god why
The bewildered silently staring at nothing
Beyoncé singing “Halo” at the “Hope for Haiti Now” telethon
Country singers singing “Lean on me “as the world pitched in to help
Madonna singing my favorite song “I want to Take You there”
Jennifer Hudson singing “Let it be” for the broken-hearted
Many rivers to cross those in Haiti must travel
People from all the inhabited earth come together in songs
Raising money for Haiti

when the earth's plates move, we are helpless.
A nice report, we stand and read and see and feel and die a little
for those who suffered this freak of nature, this inevitable happening
when the earth’s plates move, we are helpless. It is sad, it is heart-wrenching
it is terrifying, we stretch out to help, but that doesn’t quiet the suffering
of the one man-woman-or child-still there deep beneath the rubble, suffering.
Perhaps the songs can soothe this utter pain, and if telepathy works
he has his sensitive healers in all the humans that still walk the earth.
What can one do but stand and watch, give money, yes but the anguish
is not sated with money.
Love to you Barbara and to all those in pain be it from an earthquake or otherwise.
