On X Elon started a poetry page
To post on it you have to make room for an Ad
Your poetry and an advertisor have to engage
To promote their business with your poem made me mad
Good luck with that plan Loony Musk bird
Stop exploiting poets on your Twitter
No sane poemist will share a word
On a website that's filled with litter
Haïti est un pays
Trahi par ses généraux et ses propres fils
Haïti est harcelé et humilié
Par ses généreux et ses propres alliés
L’argent, la gloire et le pouvoir
Dominent les actualités
Les apatrides veulent avoir
Tout ce qui a de la valeur
Haïti est dans un terrible malheur.

Perhaps the world is a living thing,
and we are merely parasites living on it.
At first, so small and insignificant
no one could imagine our causing any real harm,
and so we fed on, greedily and without remorse
as parasites do, but now it has become clear
we have sickened the Earth almost to death.
Oh, it's a dangerous game parasites play,
slowly devouring their host all the while knowing
that when it dies, they must abandon ship or die, too.
......
In pieno giorno, Haiti è un paese
Tradito dai suoi generali e dai suoi stessi figli
Haiti è perseguitata e umiliata
Per i tuoi generosi e propri alleati
Denaro, fama e potere
Domina le notizie e la scena
Gli apolidi vogliono avere
Tutto ciò che è prezioso
Haiti è terribilmente infelice.
