The Wounds Have Healed…The Scars Are Bleeding is an insightful work of non-fiction from author Lindon J. King. This work is designed to provoke thought as well as educate the reader about the aftermath of slavery in America and the West Indies. Set out as a tribute to the forefathers who had been able to survive the brutal Middle Passage only to be sold as slaves in America and the West Indies. Slavery not only physically affected the lives of those who were captured but also mentally affected them for generations to come.

AUTHOR GUEST POST…When one is always in need, is there a specific time for us to give a helping hand?

In my book; The Wounds Have Healed…The Scars Are Bleeding! I wrote about the economical plight concerning the people of Haiti, and also made mention that something needs to be done. It is no secret that the country has been plagued by corruption because of the greed and selfish behaviour of a few. In spite of the situation and circumstances they encounter, they are a good people. When they gained their Independence, they reached out to the enslaved colonies and offered a place of refuge to those who managed to escape the hands of their cruel masters.

To add to their already crumpled life, in January of this year their world came tumbling down, many lives were lost and the lives of those who survived the quake came to a halt. The international communities reached out and assisted in many different ways but the greatest and most admirable help that was offered was the help rendered among themselves. Yes, they are a good people and have always been trying to help themselves, but did it have to take the act of a natural disaster to reveal their cries and their many calls for help?

They have always been crying and asking for help, so many have tried to escape their crumpled world in search of a better life on a foreign shore. Many perished in search of  that better life but, maybe it’s just that we believe their cries were not loud enough. Is it too ambitious for one to try to achieve a better life? So many things have been said about the people of Haiti but their strength and courage to survive confirm that they are no less of a person than you and I.
