The Photograph That Moved The World

I was just browsing through the web when I stopped at this picture. Don’t want to tell my feelings upon seeing this terrible site. I know that you must be feeling the same way. In fact every human being will feel the same shame.
I don’t know what happened to the child and nobody else does. But can you imagine the scene. A vulture waiting for a child to die to have a feast. The child crawling on her knees towards a food camp, for survival, which is one km away. And a mock spectator who is not only watching but also capturing this moment.
what must be running in each one's mind?
Vulture is not human and so have no feeling, no emotion nothing. It has just some basic drives and its aim is to satisfy these drives.
The child was a famished one and so she can also be counted as non-human. Her mind was focused at a single goal and it was the food camp. Her hunger was so great that everything including death had ceased to exist. It was just food, food and food.
Nothing else.
She wasn't even aware of a predator stalking, right behind her. An assassin ready to strike with its accomplice ready, to capture the moment, to glorify his work and shame the humanity.
What a contradiction these two words make.
Glorify and Shame.
Now what about the mock spectator?
The accomplice?
He was the one who was sane and sensible. He was the one who could think. He was the one who was human. The one with feelings and emotion.
And what he did? he took this photograph. He couldn’t touch the child because it will transmit disease. He chased the vulture repeatedly, but it returned and So he left the place as he had many more photographs to take.
Its as simple as that.
Though the photographer is long dead, by committing suicide (may his soul rest in peace for he didn’t after he took that snap), I am still discussing it because I was appalled by a sight so horrific.
Why in this age of prosperity, people are still suffering from hunger.
When millions of tones of grains are lying rotten in the godowns and being eaten by rats of the prosperous country, why living human beings are compelled to become the prey of a vulture.
why is work so important and fear of a disease so overpowering that a photographer, whose photograph made the whole world cry, is forced to abandon a child just outside the devouring mouth of a predator.

Though it has been more than a decade for this incident, nothing has changed except for the Proper nouns associated with it. Sudan has been replaced by Somalia and Iraq and there are automatic rifles also along with the hungry vultures, ready to devour anything which comes along.
