The disasters that recently hit Morocco and Libya

Are different in nature,

But they remain same in terms of deaths and devastations.

The victims, as generally happens in such situations,

Were largely left to fend for themselves

The trauma of the affected,

Though, will take a long time to heal,

The world is quick to move on.

As the usual rituals of follow up discussions,

To make a difference continue …,

The all-pervasive indifference is perverse

And colossal too
