... Ode d'Haiti ...

great people have need for great faith ... I see symbiosis in this ...

forest visible through lack of trees ...

for survival and triumph and time evermore ...

outlive earthquake tremor and blow-down destruction breeze ...

inhabiting this poised vortex ... harmonic and balanced in flow ...

giggy-top axis at the heart of the globe ...

where the plant lives ... through shoot sucker and root ...

and sufferers trod true beat up the rockiest road ...

ours is to fortress bones-of-conquest ... raise up ties-that-bind ...

place Boukman to rest in I and I spirit ...

deep lively soul hero ... bobooo champion the groove ...

what break grow back stronger ... only Jah know human limit ...

and from stronger we overstand there's less that can shackle ...

to what fashion by hand of man ...

Eksperyans wiser sinew ... multiple density power of will ...

death and life stir-shaken ... to new beginning ... a next plan ...

vodoun vibes wail by instinct ... elemental ... divine and secure ...

holistic healing Earth movements in time ...

longer dan rope coil ... organic resilient regenerate ... build well ...

poultice wounded skin ... salve, destiny, riddim ... and rhyme ...
