My Shithole
My shithole has a history
The first free black country
The first slave revolt successfully
Blacks raised in dignity
My shithole has seen violence
But the taking of 20 innocents
By a youth that has lost his sense
Has never been an occurrence
My shithole has dignity
In the face of tragedy
We become a family
United in our fragility
My shithole has seen greed
Like every country indeed
Those in power rarely heed
The calls of the hungry in need
My shithole is certainly
Rampant with poverty
And the few lord it over the many
Brought to us by democracy
My shithole has a population
That surpasses 10 million
With hearts bigger than any nation
Who welcome you with affection
My country has artistry
In the face of diversity
Writers and painters creatively
Whose works will live eternally
My shithole has beauty
Lovely beaches a plenty
Mountains with names like Furcy
And many sites most holy
My shithole isn’t perfect that’s true
We’re struggling to see the day through
But that’s not what’s blocking your view
It’s our color that has stumped you
My shithole isn’t for you
My shithole will not welcome you
My shithole is too good for you
My shithole rejects you
My shithole is Ayiti!
And you are not worthy!
