Poetry from the book {Bunny Hop} by Artist Troy Richard Thomas

Business interests

Caribbean cheap labor

20 years American marine rule in Haiti

In interests of war

The bland faces of communism

The Haiti people elect a man to bring them out of poverty

The Haitian military rules

All players are dirty

Hands tied with barbed wire

Dead bodies strewn across the beaches

Haitians cross the ocean in unseaworthy vessels

Here rules the rifle, as it does here

There is nothing that we can do

America stands for freedom

The American government secretly backs military rule

Haitians are finger printed upon return

Haiti is business as usual, Slave eats Slave

Currently Republican George Bush is president.
