From the majestic purple mountain peaks
casting long fingerlings of deep shadows,
to rivers downward flow from frothy creeks
forming seven oceans rising how far... Who knows?.
Rains cascade on lush meadowlands, resplendent
with flora and fauna of innumerable species
as Mother Nature watches over ever ascendent,
Tsking with frown cast steadily upon the interspecies.
Clouds forming, more water vapors ascending
above rushing, gushing, heaving, crashing runoff,
created by the ravaging of fertile forests, rending
the protective gown of Nature that men cast off.

Note:
Environmental issues in Haiti include a historical deforestation problem, overpopulation, a lack of sanitation, natural disasters, and food insecurity. The major reasons for these environmental issues are corruption, foreign intervention by the U.S and human exploitation, and the embezzlement of taxpayers' funds for personal gains. In addition, there is not sufficient protection or management of the country's natural resources. Other environmental issues, such as decreases in precipitation and more severe natural disasters, will likely arise in Haiti due to climate change. Experts agree that Haiti needs to adopt new policies to address both the issues that already exist and to prepare for the effects of climate change -- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
