This image reminded me of a poem I wrote ages ago:
Many souls, least bothered
Lives lost, all bare;
Much chaos, no comfort
A hell, no care...
Some may opine that this image is nothing but an advertising gimmick...or perhaps it is not; It really is true! What if the child, the innocent victim caught in a bloody 'situation', is as real as you and me...? Whatever the case might be - I just couldn't take my eyes off this boy's face...

I concur with the sisters that you have a way with words...its a special gift to be able to write in such a manner that the reader not just reads what u r writing but feels your emotions too.
My comment on the subject at hand is that it would be a very cynical person who would look upon that picture and remain immune to it, and dismiss it as a marketing gimmick. It however is a cynical world we live in, hence a lot of people are now immune to images of human suffering, be it a child. I think we are in a time where mankind is oblivious to the world around us, and if not, we choose to ignore it and dismiss the sufferings as not our problem, our conscience has taken a back seat...and the material world has gained precedence over all else. I am guilty of that too, but its people like AZ who arouse our morality from the slumber its in.
