Haitian

I live in Haiti. You ever heard of it? It's a Godforsaken island. One of the poorest. 'Scuse me, THE poorest. I was born here, unwillingly. My parents hardly have enough money for us to survive. If we are lucky we got a dollar a day. But we are starving. We live off a diet of rice and, oh let me not forget, rice. The government is freaking corrupted. I don't know why we have to be so poor. I've heard there's a magical place called the "U.S". It's said to have enough money to buy more than three meals a day.
Wow that would be delicious.
But getting back on topic, our food is scarce. And not only are we starving BUT the stupid government just raised the prices of the only food we have.
WHY?! everyone is wondering, but nobody know. The government [s]hardly[/s] let's us have a say in things.
My people, my neighbors are getting impatient. They struggle to care of their families and themselves. We don't know what to do.
Riots have been breaking out, violent protests against the government. Demanding food.
Hunger, pain, hurt, death.
Only five have died so far. Yesterday was the most intense riot. They went to the government building and started trying to open the gates. The police came and sprayed tear gas and shot rubber bullets.
Should I join the protests?
Should I silently die of starvation?
Should i swim across the ocean to the amazing place called "U.S"?
I'd probably die trying any of these.
It's a lose lose situation.
So I guess i have made up my mind.
