Haiti Song

Verse 1

Travelled to Haiti

The newspaper had the bad news

Decided to get on a plane

Thats the only thing I wanted to do

Chorus

A light of hope just died

Darkness cracked at noon

Destruction hits again

Haiti don't be said

Chaos rumbles through

Innocent eyes and what they've been through

Haiti

Right now I am on my way to Port-au-Prince, Haiti! I have so many mixed feelings: excited, angry, scared, determined, confused, and some other feelings that I can't describe. There was an earthquake that was a magnitude of 7.0 that happened not to long ago. It was on the news, in the newspaper,...... everywhere. I was SO heart broken when I heard about it. I knew if I had the chance to go to Haiti, I would want to help in all the ways I could. Well, I got my chance and thats exactly what I am going to do. I'm now in the airport. It was pretty crowded, but I got through. The sight of all the Haitians made me think about how most of these people, now, are homeless, or have lost someone they had loved. I met up with a lady named Laflippe Mrie Guerda. After introducing ourselves she said we would get right to work by helping at a homeless shelter. I asked her where I was suppose to put my stuff, and she just said, "You bring all that with you." I must say my bags weren't the lightest, but I didn't argue.

When we got to the shelters I was devastated. I was at least expecting a building with walls. but no. The shelters were tents! I didn't really know how bad the earthquake had damaged Haiti. I guess I never imagined it could get that bad.

I am so busy helping Haiti. From going to an orphanage, to rebuilding houses and other things, to taking care of the homeless, that I don't have time to write in my journal on this adventure. I'm sorry journal. I am going to write a song instead. Sorry, can't write anymore. Bye bye!
