Je me fais lampadaire

Sur la route de la vie

J’éclaire

Jour et nuit

Sous l’orage et pluie

J’éclaire

Aussi fort que la vérité

Dans un ciel blessé

J’éclaire

Sous la pression du tonnerre

Malgré l’éclaire

Me déclare souvent la guerre

Je n’éteindrai guère

C’est ma prière

J’éclairerai toujours comme un enfer

Comme le coeur de Lucifer

About the Author:

Rénel Saintilmond was born in Haiti and has resided in Orlando, Florida for more than ten years.  Most people can relate to his writing and will find a verse or a paragraph that depicts their own personal experiences, feelings, or dreams. Rénel started writing as a youth and has always been a visionary trying to do his part for the betterment of this world. An element of melancholy founded on the near destruction of this world by hatred, injustice, bigotry, disease, and power flows across his poems. In spite of all that, he stays optimistic that the world can be changed if we change the way we think, the way we live, and the way we treat each other.
