What if God shook our world.
What if the earthquake was not for Haiti alone.
What if our children were the ones,
Roaming the streets alone.
What if we were under the rubble,
Desperate to be seen by the rescue team.
What if it was us in chaos
Searching for our love ones.
What if it was us mourning
Our lost ones.
What if Haiti was America
We would be the one’s crying
For deliverance,
We would be the ones
Grasping for air as buildings crush us.
We would be the ones spilling our tears
After news came that there’s not
Enough rescue team to save us
We would be the ones
Carry the remnants of families
That didn’t live,
Because the earth opened up
And sucked them in.
We would be the ones,
Digging through the debris
Hoping to save your wife
Before her life is seized.
We would be the ones in need,
Of the commodities
That we so often toss around
Like they are not necessities.
We would be the ones naked
Our clothes stripped from our backs
As the earth shook beneath us.
We would be the ones
But we aren’t.
So lets lend a hand to Haiti
Who are people much like us.
