I am really at a loss of words to describe this gruesome tragedy so I will just post a link to the story:

An interesting side-note: Many Muslims who were awake for Ramadan were among the first to notice the fire around 1 am and to help out. An interesting coincidence and another small bit of good news coming out of this horror:

...not my sort of film really..
But guess what?
If you read what the residents thought about the blocks safety and how the "mods" regarded their lives...
You will find..
A world stranger than fiction.
...i hate the place already.
Peace peace.. knives in hand..
This was once.. a promised land.
Honestly, by the one in whos hands my life is in.

Would you really leave me in the care of these people?
Whos tongues dont care if its good or bad that they write.
As long as they can see there own plate at the table.

Why is intercession so rare? In a blind world.
...maybe the one eyed man is king?

..why so apprehensive to give the news? Did you ever wonder?
Anyway, value the freedom of anonymity.
..value the freedom.
Be warned of days when people are put into boxes and dictated too..
Its not money in the front they lacked.
...its money in the back.
Word.
Id maybe have titled it.. the vicegerents but maybe id have come full circle.
And some words are better left unspoken.

In effort to learn..not slipping..
And the weight of all my sins.
