In Just A Moments Time

In a moments time there was great devastation in Haiti from a massive earthquake reaching 7.0 on the Richter scale, followed by a series of after shocks measuring in the 5+ order.  I see the gross lost of life and the destruction of buildings including a Hospital but I reflect on the lifestyles of the Haitians for years. The western world now runs to their rescue when for year Haitians were already suffering. In a strange way this calamity might have very positive ripples.

 

 

In Just A Moments Time

 

Intense Earthquake brought destruction to Haiti

Never in 200 years has this region seen one of such severity

 

Jolts reached 7.0 on the Richter scale

Undulations rippled through this impoverish nation where little may prevail

So often we are powerless at the fate of Mother Nature’s fury

The devastations come and claim many lives in its ferocity

 

And indifferent of the deprive who suffered in great pain

 

Mold hill suffers forced to climb the impassible mountain

Outreach programs have sent aid to Haiti before

Missionaries have tried to make the peoples’ spirits pure

Every neighbor was there after flooding recently

Now the world knocks again to offer their charity

To help get this struggling nation on its feet

Show we care for our neighbors but shouldn’t we to complete

 

This charitable gesture and take our support all the way

Improve the Haitians lifestyle from their former dismay

Make them more self-efficient, reduce their suffering and crime

Earthquake’s ruin can cause greater prosperity In Just A Moments Time

 

Dieu de mai soit avec mes frères et soeur au Haïti
