| Notes | This poem refers to media and news coverage of some kind of humanitarian disaster, which is not specified in the poem. Reference to flames, however, implies a conflict zone. There is an explicit reference to children being operated upon without anaesthetic, and women lamenting dead perpetrators. In the final verse, it is asserted that the photo of the women crying will win an award. This appears to be a commentary on the consumption of media images of human rights violations. |
