Shattered Dreams In The Sky


Dreams were shattered like glass shards,
As innocent lives were pushed into the jaws of death.
Some doctors, engineers, accountants, and bards,
Extinguished were the candles of their breath.

A wife was on her way to meet her spouse,
While the daughters and sons aspired to study abroad,
Alas! Fate destroyed someone's beautiful house, 
As the passengers were destined to embark on a journey to God. 

Shocking news that sent waves of grief,
To all the mourners of the deceased,
A plane that crashed after its departure brief,
Time itself seemed to have ceased. 

Every single drop of blood is precious 
And so is every soul,
Let us tear down the wall of pride and status. 
Saving humanity should be our ultimate goal.
