RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS
The Forgotten Nation
Anarchy has taken hold
In a state of constant misery
The criminal gangs have grown bold
Another chapter of tragic history
Port-au-Prince is a lawless city
Filled with violence and strife
The absence of order lessens
The value of human life
The French had their way with it
The Americans took their chance
Now the Kenyans take their turn
Like a sailor at a dance
The island nation will go on
Like it always has before
In a state of anarchy and chaos
Starvation always at their door
Is there nothing we can do to help
So many times we have tried
It is hard to watch Haiti’s decline
When so many people have died
