I Wish I Had Died Too

I wish I had died too I wish I had died on a mystery plane from Malaysia Carrying over 200 souls yet to live Their last beautiful moments I wish I had sat on my first class section Sipping ice cold champagne And the plane would suddenly shake And spill the precious contents And my near celebration Would be violently shaken and this time Throwing me off my seat Making me groan… I would lift my eyes to see other souls Sprawling on the floor…. I would close my eyes to pray And this time we would be spinning In a deadly circle that clatters all souls and furniture It’s chaos! What’s happening? I am frightened and wondering… The captain’s inaudible warnings don’t make sense I suddenly get a cold dizzy feeling That rocks me to the right, left, up and down As the cold water suddenly soaks up My white jeans and fills the floor Like a shallow river It’s the horrifying sound of a shot gun That makes me scream wild with fear At the deafening bullet because Someone just did the act of suicide And I am horrified in tears as The broken windows reveal an ocean current That churns like a thunderstorm The roof of the plane pulls off our heads I can now taste the salty water choking down My throat and preparing me like a meal For a shark to devour…. I already feel like a meal ready to be eaten As the ocean dissolves all our bodies The efforts to swim and beat the currents Have taken on an eternity! I have dissolved, I have dissolved My heart cries out as i hear the cries of the souls Drowning and myself dissolved And drowned with them.
