Ladies and gentlemen what you are holding in your hands right now and about to read is the Haitian people's complaint to the world; it is their will and their vision for a new Haiti. It is the dreams and hopes of the new generation; it is a tool to help guide the Haitian people in the transition from politicians that have made questionable choices to the new visionary leaders, a tool to assist them in the process of transformation from misery to prosperity and wellbeing. This is a book that going to bring to the light who are responsible for Haitian people's misery and will explain also the self-denial of a group of Haitian in Haiti and overseas for the cause of Haiti and for the benefit of the Haitian people. This book will explain an extraordinary story of an ordinary man who has vision for Haiti's struggle. His father was murdered, his mother got kidnapped and was robbed three times, all because they spoke out for a better life, and they spoke out for peace and justice in Haiti. From 1804 to 2010, exactly 206 years of independence and 206 years of calamity, humiliation, isolation and corruption, after all those years it's still raising some fundamental questions how much more the Haitian people have to endure? How long they have to wait to get help? After the earthquake, the entire world sympathized with Haiti and gave billions to leaders and to non profit organizations that has been established in this country for years to help the people and to rebuild Haiti. After four months, yet nothing has been done and in the capital I know many hurting people who haven't received any help, not even a bottle of water. In the mean time people continue to die,suffer, and among them tension starts raising high and in my point of view, I don't see any evidence that those leaders in this country has any desire to make any changes in the direction of better quality of life for the Haitian people. Today I am seeking justice in a very different and unusual way, I want to establish for the first time in Haiti rules and principles that can't be violated by anyone and prove to the world how an ordinary man can really do an extraordinary change in a country known as a land of corruption, a land of poverty and impunity.

When I decided to write this book in 2008, my youngest son asked me, "dad what is the title of the book?" I said "Plaintive Voices of Haiti to the World". He asked me, "Where did you get this name from?" I started to explain him what was happening: as I always in tears and lamented each day the misery and the bitter grief of the Haitian people. It seems to be an angel who has evidence of all my pains and my generosity to those people for many years, this angel who has also evidence that I am inspired to do something different in Haiti and has evidence of my greatest desire to accompany the young Haitians to do a revolution in Haiti which will be for sure a revolution of economic, to accompany them to declare war against poverty, and corruption. This angel appeared one day before me and asked this question "Rameau, are you not tired with the suffering and the plaintive voices of the people?" During that moment tears began to trickle from my eyes, not because of the beauty of the angel, but because of the sad words that came from the angel's mouth. And I have these kinds of dreams very often since 1971 until now, that's why I have chosen the name: "Plaintive Voices of Haiti to the World" for my book. I started writing it many months prior to the earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, I went to Haiti in January 2007, I saw Haiti's capital as if it was a grenade waiting to get its pin pulled and ready to explode, I knew something eminent was going to happen soon. I thought it was an excellent idea to write a book, not only to tell the world about what happened to me, to my family, to my friends and the entire Haitian population, but to tell the world that something big is going to happen to the Haitian people and then Haiti is in an emergency situation. Unfortunately things happen exactly the way I predicted before my book is even published. Even though you are about to read something to which that you are no longer unaware but I still believe that its an excellent idea to go ahead and finish my book and spread it around the entire world and at least the readers will know that everything I have been writing in this book is directly from God and I have been inspired by him. Ladies and gentlemen what you are holding in your hands right now is the Haitian people's complaint to the world; it is their will and their vision for a new Haiti. It is the dreams and hopes of the new generation; it is a tool to help guide the Haitian people in the transition from politicians that have made questionable choices to the new visionary leaders, a tool to assist them in the process of transformation from misery to prosperity and wellbeing. This book also will explain the self-denial of a group of Haitians in Haiti and overseas for the cause of Haiti and for the benefit of the Haitian people, a group that wants to respond positively to the desperate calls of Haitian people. Even though our politicians are not only group who are behind everything bad happened in Haiti, but the Haitian people have strong evidence that they are also responsible for Haiti's tragedies and their lives has been devastated by these politicians greed. For example, if in the distress of the people a leader cannot say a word of consolation, if a leader is unable to make others respect his people, or unable to prevent embarrassments, humiliation, and prejudice so unworthy to Haiti, the first black independent country in the western hemisphere where these great people are considered as a race inferior by nations who even don't have a great history than Haiti, if a leader cannot give at least a short-term of happiness to the young people who have seen their youth fade in hopelessness generation after generation; a style of leader, should stay out from politic indefinitely, because there is a moment for each dictator or for each elected official whose their thoughts are less occupied in doing people's business other than stealing the people's money to step out and let some one else who have vision and competent to step in. As the day of the saviors and the visionary leaders is fast coming, these weapons of mass destruction and distraction whatever names the people call them, must avail themselves of my message and hasten with out delay to make the necessary arrangements to quit and run away before it's too late. Mean time, I am asking the people who are always fundamentally prepared to deal with any bad situations to be enjoyed what ever help they can get for the moment until leadership of this country shifting from criminals to a decent and respectful visionary leader. Why should we have governments and elected officials in Haiti? What role they are playing in the society? What is their contribution for the economic growth and for stable environment? With sadness and regrets, I deeply noted, I could find a single man and woman among politicians who dare to reflect our sublime chief intrepid such as: Jean Jacques Dessalines, Henry Christophe, Capois Lamort and Toussaint L'Ouverture. "By overthrowing me, you have succeeded in cutting down the tree of liberty of the black in Santo Domingo, but you have failed to destroy the roots that are deep and strong. The tree will grow again". Said Toussaint L'Ouverture, the most considerable man in our race and most admirable by the universe while most of our politicians past or present are the most detested people in the earth. Except for these great patriots whose philosophy, character and actions are barely identified with our heroes. I'm talking about Doctor Bertude Pierre, Sonet Saint Louis attorney at law, engineer Jean Sergot Pierre-Louis, Jean Bertrand Aristide, Mme Mirland Manigat, Steven Benoit, Michel Edward, Himler Rebu, Walther Pierre, Esterline Pierre, and Jean Rameau Pierre. It's very recommending that the Haitian people keep their eyes open on those patriots until the man above, who knows the end from the beginning tells us other wise. The people should be very grateful to the staff members of Radio signal FM one of the best Radio station in Haiti, Radio Lumiere, Radio WPKN 89.5 FM in Bridgeport and Radio Panou. From the moment I started writing this book, heavy tears fell from my eyes while I commune a few moments with my own thoughts about these unfortunate human beings with whom I always share pain and suffering, heavy tears fell from my eyes when I recover my recollection of how politicians deprived me so soon of my father.
My mother getting kidnapped, robbed and beat up three times, my friends getting murdered and I had seen so much bloodshed many regions in different cities and being forced to leave my country, they deprived me of my family, my parents, my friends and the children that I love so much, there are so distant from me in solitary and in total confusion for more than twenty two years, and what makes the situation worse for me, for a reason that I don't have nothing to do with it and have no control of it, my children have been denied many times by the embassy of Haiti to join me in America to support them, to help them with the big injuries they are getting from leaders and the earthquake. Now they are alone and in great danger, because most of the close families perish in that earthquake. The only companies they have right now are the dead bodies with which they are sleep every night at the street. Dear readers, more tears fell from my eyes and rolled unheeded from my cheeks onto the papers I've written after the tragedy on January, 12, 2010. However, as a high spirited man since I was a child, this horrible...
