fly a flag from a pole
or flag down a taxi
raise a warning flag
or our spirits may flag
but it’s flagrant misuse
not to report abuse
when another raises a flag
to declare their despair
listen attentively
for those warning signs
and flag those in authority
make them responsible
support and kind care
of each other is fair!

There are so many red flags that we are often overwhelmed. Still it is incumbent on each of us to heed the warning signs and take action…

Kate, wonderful photo to go with the poem. Engagingly written, and an important message. Teachers, health care professionals, and social workers are charged with the duty of reporting abuse, but everyone else should take responsibility too! Take care! Cheryl
