Hi Greg,  people jumped out of the window to escape the blaze ## residents have been complaining of dangerous conditions like no fire sprinkles,  no fire escapes, faulty wiring, but unheard ## the cheap non fireproof insulation,  and the use of aluminium rainscreen cladding to make it more attractive to its rich neighbours ## the condition of the poor doesn't matter anymore. The residents were predominantly poor mixed up with the rich ## kill the poor,  save the rich ## disparity in wealth is enorm in that area..## a new phenomenon of racism.  
it's not about the color of your skin nor religion but the value of money.

Saw it on the news it's really sad...It's more alarming that people are being treated based on the size of their pockets...I wonder where the world is going to...God help us!

It's a terrible tragedy really ## a new style of racism based on the size of your wallet ## I feel sorry for them.  They lost everything ##

thank you

My Dear Leah,

I respond to your beautiful Haiku with one of my own.

The tower has burnt
Children of God have been lost
Then found in Heaven
