I would’ve never known
Until I said it aloud, because I too was prone
To believe in America’s history,
But the truth is a lie
Our 'heros’ are all bad guys
All the propaganda and history made me ask why!
Did France sell Louisiana to America for just $15 mil?
In 1803 Thomas Jefferson got one he!! of a deal!
The Haitian Revolution was Napoleon’s bitter jagged pill!
Slaves beat three empires in the world’s only successful slave revolt!
Yet American education, culture, and history never registered one note!
I know all about Columbus, Washington, and Lincoln
But nothing about Dessalines and Louverture, so that got me to thinking...
Why would the 'world's greatest democracy' suppress such a history?
A search on Google quickly helped me to solve this mystery
Why did US Marines occupy Haiti from 1914 to 1920?
For the same reasons as the French, it was all about the money!
President Woodrow Wilson sent in the Marines file and rank
To steal $500,000 in gold from the Haitian National bank
That Haitian Gold was sent back to a New York City bank
Today it is known as 'Citibank' (do they still have it?)!
America’s debt to Haiti is worth trillions more than gold once taken
Haiti should be America’s 51st state in the making!
Plus reparations for decades of abuse to deodorize America’s foul stench
If it weren’t for Haiti we’d all be speaking French!
