ON THE WAY TO SINGAPORE
Past midnight
Enameled faced girls
At high altitude
Ask for coffee tea wine
Is it time to dine
Listen to some rhyme
Time zone has passed
Date has changed
Sun is setting in
Another horizon
Till they ask coffee wine
How far is God’s dwelling
From 35000 feet and beyond
Couldn’t He see these eyes of almond
Drooping in sleep
But smiles hold on
Enameled cabin crews
With unlimited energy
Goes on calling for tea coffee
With masked smiles
On their faces
Till the jet lands in Changi
There is no sleep no rest
Neither I’m hungry
Does any one
Think of their plight
Cabin girls in overnight flight
