The Bottom Line A picture of the image I saw when in Haiti, 98 degrees in February.

I've traveled long, I've traveled far
I carried winds within my car
A Chevrolet Dodge Caravan
Spoke a lingua I couldn't understand

I chose the route of Muddy Waters
The agent wouldn't take my quarters
The Airport bathroom was very clean
The mob outside, the second scene

The first was while descending air
A bunch of mountains and a crowded share
The heat stroke gently 'cross my face
The dust gave mouth a bitter taste

The people barely even noticed
How different attitudes would approach it
Yet they still wanted to beg
They charged me ten dollars a head

I sat within the camionette
A ten gourdes that was very well spent
To get me through Port-Au-Prince
The media had once given me hints

They said the poverty was ugly
So my mind was there before I set for sea
Until the images were different
And the storm was change that instant

Direction was revolutionized
Twas circumsized by many tribes
For with no leadership or aid
How do these hopefuls maintain?

I had to question, had to kneel and pray
Because I know that this is not the only way
For so many Haitians are loaded
So the puzzle hasn't been decoded

I was born to see the drama
And the heart of it is Karma
Because I know what it's done for my ancestors
I am supposed to give in return

Maybe someday they'll be free loves
Though they've been free for 201
I can see it in their eyes
These hopefuls have a sense of pride

And the beauty of the land itself
The trees and seas and birds
The animals that roam around
The crops that grow upon the mount

It's no surprise that milk and honey
Was what I took from land behind me
And upon this plane departing
My heart has definitely been charging

The weather bee gave me a tan
Stung me with memories of the land
From 98 degrees in February
To 16, scars that made me see

That beauty is within the eye of the beholder
The weather bee was on my shoulder
And now the portrait in 1,000 words
Haiti was the first
