MYCOORDINATES<br />

The SHARP edge of Mt Everest<br />

David Sharp was left to die.<br />

Many saw him.<br />

They didn’t do anything.<br />

Perhaps they could not.<br />

Perhaps it was ‘impossible’ to do anything there.<br />

They continued climbing…<br />

Conquered Mt Everest.<br />

Sir Edmund Hillary is outraged.<br />

He knows what they lost.<br />

But it happens.<br />

Everyday and everywhere.<br />

People are allowed to die.<br />

Who cares?<br />

The ‘ultimate’ is just to be on the top.<br />

Let us climb up and up.<br />

Leaving those who can’t.<br />

Can you?<br />
