Whispers moving on the cities
Unrest churning in the shadows
The quiet before the storm
Change is coming
The majority grows sick of their "place"
The minority grows uneasy
Whispers turn to voices in the night
Revolution is coming
Revolt
The oppressed and chained rage,
Striking out,
Against their shackles,
To bring the change they desire
The once powerful cower and pray for safety,
Fire, pain, and fear rule,
Fueled by passion and age old anger,
To bring the freedom they deserve
Burn
Smoke and ash fill the air,
Screams of pain filled with fear,
This is the price we pay
For our liberty
For Change
The forest and fields burn
And with it the success of this island,
The wealth of these people,
St. Domingue
Our nation will be reborn from these ashes,
As a republic
Success
Our leader captured,
Our land in ruins,
Our people devastated,
Our dues paid,
We have won our freedom,
We have won our independence.
Aftermath
Once great,
Now small,
Merely a footnote in the economic spectrum of today's society,
Haiti
Once St. Domingue,
Then San Domingo
Now lies underneath the destruction of poverty and natural disaster,
Can Haiti Recover?
Will it ever be fully healed?
