Shock

My insides turn slowly, painfully over. The media congregates, scrabbling for their angle. Their exclusive. Information pours from every opportunity as western worlds are first to arrive but not to help. Instead they record and catalogue the devastation that lies strewn before them. Why must it always be the media that has the fastest response to an international disaster or crisis.

A ruthless business which we all too readily buy into has now become a warped and disfigured catalyst that snowballs beyond our control. Unable to believe our eyes we sit, unbelieveing, unappreciative of our present status beyond the pain of their situation.

Without the media we wouldn't know but why waste the affluent resource they obviously possess when in their shadows people lie discarded. A struggle that has often been ignored will one day surface, when a question of ethical morals is brought to bear. Until that moment, we can but hope that a concience is there to answer it.

and still the numbers rise...
