Tragedy shifted their focus.
Briefly you existed.
Poorest in western hemisphere.
Two hundred fifty thousand dead.
"Major Catastrophe" they say.
Three quarters of a million children with no schools.
A third of homes destroyed.
"Unimaginable task" quote from new housing expert.
Someone must imagine it.
We heard about the millions.
Q: Where are the millions they've sent?
A: Soon, in our land. I hope.
Imagine that, my brotha.
Imagine that.
