Lend A Helping Hand: For Haiti
**Hello, to anyone who reads this it would really mean a lot to me if you can please leave some feedback. I read about the contest Lend A Helping Hand and I decided that I didn't want to just stand there with my arms folded so I sat down and put some thought into this one, so this is what I came up with. Hope you can vote/comment, thank you.

Without warning the Earth trembles in different regions.
A catastrophe: The Republic of Haiti;
the land of high mountains has shaken abruptly.
Port-au-Prince! Port-au-Prince!
If this was my story;
I would've foreshadowed this phenomenon!
But this was behind-the-scenes works;
who is delighted in manner of destruction and devastation?
Who is the Thief that lurks,
until we emerge as a weak individual?
Thus finding ourselves barefooted and vacant.
Is it righteous that those born in gold cribs;
overlook those that are poverty-stricken?
Are there any distinctions of the spirit and soul;
between the rich and the poor?
We exist in one world,
so in God's eyes we are one.
We all ooze the same color blood;
exhale the same invisible air;
Or can the winds be appraised of?
We can all lend a helping hand
in moments of grief and torment;
today is Haiti but tomorrow can be your nest.
A bleeding heart, I now mourn
the loss of thousands of lives;
swimming in a river of distress.
We must be aware and attentive;
If our lives we commend in the Lord's hands, we will be triumphant.
I say to my Haitian brothers and sisters with a true voice;
A prayer from the inmost part of me I invoke.
The benevolence and the eternal mercy of God,
can build up a new Haiti, a new Nation--a new Home.
