Haitian earthquakes

rew4er2nail

January twelfth two thousand and ten

October seventh two thousand eighteen

and again August fourteenth,

two thousand and twenty one

witnessed near annihilation and destruction

of the Haitian nation,
(especially courtesy first and third aforementioned)

whereby countless/ nameless individuals

e’en the strongest Herculean type men

crushed by humungous slabs of building facades

practically demolishing every creation

since this island settled,

which indigenous tribes initially sought safety

in any geologic den

seeking solace and salvation

from wrath of nature

 

by paying obeisance via oblation,

perhaps giving credence

to clear water in tandem with rooster and hen

that laid a golden egg, especially

as encroaching savages affected violation

particularly when Europeans

foisted forfeiture of land

with primitive implement like pen

no matter that travesty, trickery, mockery,

et cetera wrought humiliation

pleading invaders to forsake such actions

rent asunder culture beseeched divine force

argh inhumane brutish, nasty and (shortish)

simians (compared to 21st century Homo sapiens)

refused to cease desecration,

yet the peoples of this dominion

 

rose from the ashes like the phoenix like bird

no matter genetic pool

underwent white washing from scouring influx

from western thumping proselytizers,

which alien beliefs hard to swallow like curd

and basically bribery (with lustrous trinkets)

and those coveted legal tender bucks

foisted/ forced the unpleasant alternative

(wanton slaughter) to be clearly heard,

 

yet within the very fiber of tropical mangrove

persons patiently lined up their ducks

as intimated by this aging hippy type nerd,

and declared as the first

African American peoples spurred

INDEPENDENCE to be the word

whence adulation, elation, inspiration

akin to the sound winged fowl clucks

until the onset of one after another major earthquake

rendered land of high mountains

(crafted from Taíno language)
into jumble of utter annihilated smithereens.
