And More Aftershocks

And the tremors continue

Not seismic but from people who argue

Dangerous words like ripples in the air

Making unrest to those who attentively hear

One man’s shout in Creole meaning the food has expired

Rippled through the city and children hungry and tired

Eating the energy biscuits dropped them immediately

And precious food was soon refused in Haiti

First aid was paramount still the doctors say

There was insufficient equipment to save Anaika Thursday

Earth shattering ripples again spread throughout the worl’

Ripples that the mighty US couldn’t save this 11 years old girl

Shocks of all kinds like machete wielding men

Have rippled through the media with no apparent end

One shock of embezzlement and fraud detract from ground zero

Casualties are estimated at 200,000, or more than we know

Keep a steady foot my friend though the aftershocks are plenty

Shun the rippling rumors, the racial slurs and lets HELP HAITI

Le Haïti a besoin de notre aide
