This photo is the "Pulitzer Prize" winning photo taken in 1994 during the Sudan famine. The picture depicts a famine stricken child crawling towards a United Nations food camp, located a kilometer away.
The vulture is waiting for the child to die so it can eat its prey. This picture shocked the whole world. No one knows what happened to the child, not even the photographer Kevin Carter who left the place as soon as the photograph was taken.
Three months later he commited suicide due to depression
The Angel
She sits next to the well
The harsh sun bears down on her
Her brother lies motionless a few feet away
Its been circling for hours in the air,
Shadows dance on the cracked ground below
So beautiful
So ugly
Hours pass away
Swooping down, the vulture slowly walks up to him
The bloodshot eyes stay on her
So beautiful
So ugly
Time stays still
Hours pass away
No one moves
He moves. His leg. He’s alive
“Water”
She looks down in the well
Empty
Nothing
So beautiful
So ugly
The vulture inches closer, eyes still fixed ahead
Maybe its an angel
Death?
No!
Water?
Yes!
Heaven grumbles
Moans
Tears
Flood of tears
The angel of death flies away, searching for her next prey
He moves; his arms, legs, turns his head around
“Water”
She looks around through the curtain of rain
Her angel will survive
So beautiful
So beautiful
