Is it
possible we are mistaken
That this bitter news be of someone else
Who plummeted in the sea?
While
others smug under illusion
That friends arrived safe
For fun-filled days along Egypt’s Nile?
Or is this
Nightmare ours?
Among the
millions
Who trust in ingenious flight
And streak through skies
Whether dark or bright
They, the designated sufferers,
Bring perspective to man’s presence
Blood payment for our existence on Mother Earth.
We salute
you in all solemnity! |
