I made a dream. I saw prosperous Haiti, where all its people are respected and loved  unlike to what we live  since our descent into hell started since so a long time and accelerated, in a way diverting,  since these last years.
I dream of Haiti where each one of its sons and daughters shares his joy of living with the neighbor, where the dishes continue to exchange it self between neighbors, like formerly, where life in the open air in family and between friends, neighbors, is lived like formerly.
I dream of Haiti where each one of its sons and daughters rediscovers his pride to be Haitian and claiming, with pride, its Haitian membership, sauntering, with pride, anywhere, enjoying, with pride, of the fruit of its work completed for the economic development of its country.
I dreamed of Haiti where each Haitian feels at home.
I dreamed of Haiti  where the smallest part of the country functions correctly, profiting, like the city, of the benefits of modern  civilization ,  advances in knowledge and  living conditions.
I dreamed of Haiti where each one of our peasants, like the big entrepreneurs, contributes in the best way to the economic development of his country, by cultivating its small holding judiciously.
I dreamed of this Haiti where health care is accessible to all, whether living in the city or kilometers outside of town.
I dreamed of a Haiti where each Haitian feels really happy and safe at home. Where the poor does not envy the rich.  Where the rich person does not relish in  misery of the poor. Where each one lends a hand in the construction of a new and promising future for all the components of the Haitian society.
I want! I want to lead towards this destination, where all the faces shine with life’s many joy. All Haitian, local and foreign, let us unite at once, and let us join our efforts to arrive at this destination
