ANGELS DOWN

 

On broken wings and failing engines the plane starts to die,

eleven people are at God’s mercy as it hits the ground in a shattering

impact smashing limbs and machinery as if was paper.

Through the flames people scream and by the chance of time

and coincidence a man is there to help.

He drags two people clear in terrible pain. The rest burn and scream

before him – he can’t beat the flames and at risk of his own life

he stopped to help.

In a terrible tragedy five young air stewardesses perished in agony,

such a waste of youth and beauty when a plane went wrong.
