Debris

On wings of self-destruction she relishes the panic In the control room of the living It was meant to be a family journey from heaven Everyone on board to enjoy the passage Then she launches herself as a guided vile missile Mission nearly accomplished Seat belts fastened and cool drinks already served A knowing smile from the stewardess The airport tower signals a clear runway for runaways Paradise calling on a flight path to hell Final announcement we have unchecked baggage Please alight from the vessel Puzzled but not unwilling he adjusts to the order Takes his case from the carrier He had not packed his belongings entirely on his own Before placing them on the conveyor belt Assisted and extended suicide had been in the making Strapped to transgressions of boundaries In time he got off the the airbus to help other travellers Maybe he should take a train on his own When the jet craft exploded he watched the fire ball Sad but relieved that this voyage was over 31st January 2020
