Feature Poem
Haiti O Haiti
(A Positive Dirge)
Haiti, O Haiti
Your sons and daughters suffer the trail
Of a tragic tremor of seven magnitudes
Corpses and carcasses liter the street
Limbs and houses crushed and crumbled
Haiti, O Haiti
Your children cry and weep and wail
For many loved ones are thereby gone,
But in their eyes, I see resolve and hope
In their strides I see strength and courage
Haiti, O Haiti,
Your children suffer, yes they do, but
History knows your children are brave
Sole masters of their land and freedom,
For the ancestors and for country unity reigns
Haiti, O Haiti
Your children are tested once again
And your children shall by this unite,
The battle is ahead and shall be met
For the Haitian will is even stronger
Haiti, O Haiti
Your children shall stand and walk again
For this tragic tremor shall not win.
Over the shaken lands they shall march, for
Even in death there’s beauty and Haiti shall live again.

The
Celebration of HUman Nature
By Oliver O.
Mbamara
(On the worldwide celebration of Michael
Jackson’s memorial)
Like a cat on silent feet, it creeps upon us,
Even as the tug on our core still persists
Like another human event it shows it face,
And in compassion we console ourselves.
Without compulsion we celebrate en-masse
And all bickering divergences are put aside
With discrimination gone, we love express
Roused and rekindled, we again must live
Into our true identity we have a glimpse
Beings of love, compassion, and kindness
Particles of the same Mirror; Sparks Divine
HUman beings; creations in God’s image.
And though for others we celebrate,
We indeed for ourselves do celebrate.
© Oliver O. Mbamara; July 2009
