When does society plan and invest into resources for the next disaster?

It comes in the form of storms

It comes in the process we run

It comes in the accidents that happen

It comes in the lesson not learned

 

The media spot light bring action to resolution

Once this attention fade from the public view

We forget that it ever occurred

Why fix something that cost us money?

 

What concern me are actions not taken?

After the event has caused damage

Do we just pack and run?

Fixing the disaster should be our goal

Mad cow disease, nuclear power, oil platform operation mistakes, and global warming

They all once shared in the news highlights

Our attention to the issues blows like leaves in the wind

Fixing the disaster is a want but a need

Just look for those things not in the news

The freight train incident due to maintenance or cargo problems

To the chemical in our drinking water

Just remember there is no need to fix a disaster that has not occurred

Fixing the next disaster is an ability that we earn
