Cité Soleil

This poem is in concern to the conditions of Haiti. A very deep poem that speaks truth, informing us of the trials and tribulation of what Haiti has and still is facing today. The poem talks about the non-caring government, the corruption, the violence, and especially the abuse Haiti's women are experiencing. One verse that stood out to me was "no female is safe.the penis is a weapon;a tool of control." It is brutal honesty. When all is gone, even though theres is such sadness occuring it is important for each to maintain hope and faith, like stated in the last verse "where there’s life, there’s hope.where there is hope, redemption."
