Up, Up and away
on metal wings aloft
soar, soar through the wind
and swirling clouds soft
Stay, Stay unaware
of the howling night
pray, pray in the air
for that stable flight
Sink, Sink in decent
a terrible spiral deep
blink, blink and it’s time
to rest in eternal sleep

I agree, it is and should be
I agree, it is and should be dedicated to all crash victims. The unfortunate incident with E302 is what inspired me to write this poem.
