Scattered Media

Radioactive dust.
Iodine
Rain snow.
Contamination.
Media alerts,
reports alarm,
they scatter information
the way radioactive dust
travels in the air.
Monitor.
Progress.
Challenges.
Bombarded with information,
then silence,
sprinkles,
almost forgotten.
A new story
They scatter new dust.

    It's shocking how quickly a catastrophic event slips off the news radar.

    Perfect, ayala!

    Wow, this is powerful. And so true. And heart-breaking, for those of us who want to help and those who need help and are forgotten.
