Hundred and fifty odd souls went down that day
So full of life: so unwilling to die
'cause one man had a hideous little problem
A problem that the system could not set right
Our lives are also such as these....
Mortgaged to someone unknown at the helm
Who can steer the sails or a flight
Help us take off and land safe alright
Or for some devious malady or reason
Dive straight into the ravines of the eternal night....
A sad event of accident and loss of human life. rightly described in the poem.
Very good write about the air tragedy that shook us all. You are right our lives are already mortgaged. But we don't pause to think about it and move about as though we are supreme beings in total and absolute control. A ten for this great write. (10)
