| Yo is Dead by Woodring
Saint Preux There is a Gentleman in the Haitian Community
who, for many years, has caused nothing but trouble. This Gentleman has NO
FACE, He's never been seen by anyone, but he has the ability to spread news and
gossip faster than the National Inquirer He is only known as "YO"...
He does NOT have a last name... He has no family... and... No one seems
to know where he came from I doubt if he is even Haitian! "YO"
is everywhere... (YO tou patou) "YO" is
in Haiti... (YO Ayiti) "YO" is in every
Haitian Community... (YO nan tout zòn) "YO"
knows everybody's business (YO konnen zafè tout moun) "YO"
badmouths everybody (YO pale moun mal) "YO"
always sticks his nose where it doesn't belong... (YO toujou antre bouch li nan
sa ki pa regade-l) "YO" is the main reason Haitians cannot
get along. "YO" is the main reason Haitians cannot trust each other.
If you are Haitian and you are not talking to another Haitian at this time, I
will bet you $1,000, you had a conversation at one point in time that started
with... "YO DI" "YO pale ou mal" "YO pa vle
wè ou" "YO pare yon pyèj pou ou" "YO
pa vle biznis ou mache" "YO pa vle wè gouvenman"
The last one cost my father Galbaud Saint Preux and his brother Wilfrid Saint
Preux SIX years in prison at the PENITENCIER NATIONAL under papa doc
"YO" is the main reason why... " Every Haitian want to leave
their community " Haitians cannot do business together " No
Haitian trust the other Haitian brother or sister " No Haitian ever
die of natural causes... it's always "voodoo this, voodoo that"
" No Haitian Government is ever good enough " No Haitian Businessman
is ever honest As you can see... "YO" has been destroying
HAITI and it's people for almost 200 years now I have great news! YO IS
DEAD! May He Rest In Peace! In order for the Haitian Social Revolution
to begin, "YO" had to die... The next time someone comes to you
and tells you "YO DI", I want you tell him or her that... "It's
a lie, Woodring Saint Preux told me that YO is DEAD. If YO is dead, how can YO
say anything?" For the sake of our community, it is very important
that this message reaches every single Haitian person world wide Di Tout moun
nan lang manman nou... YO mouri YO pa ka Pale moun mal ankò
YO pa ka fè tripotaj ankò YO pa ka fè detwi fanmi ak
zanmi ankò Li te lè, li te tan pou YO te mouri Now that
YO is DEAD, The Haitian Community has a chance to unite, put their differences
aside, and walk forward towards a better tommorrow I usually feel bad when
someone is dead But today... I am quite happy to be sharing this news
with you. |
