Pull Emergency Disaster Cue Card

Prose Poem by Jim Kelly

Thoughts and prayers.
Now is not the time.
Let’s not politicize tragedy.
We are monitoring the situation.
Help is on the way.
We will rebuild.
This is not who we are.
We are stronger together.

Flags at half-staff.
Voices full of grief.
Action postponed—again.

The script never changes.
The damage always does.
