Lost

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: June 7, 2009

Thoughts about Air France Flight 447…

That Air France pilot danced with wind
between Brazil and Paris when
his plane went down and all were lost
much like that TV show.

But unlike LOST, no one survived.
Debris was found, but none alive.
Beneath the depths of that dark sea,
death claimed the lot of them.

No doubt those victims screamed in fear
as that jet violently veered
from left to right, then up and down,
before it fin'lly plunged.

And now the fam'lies that remain
are lost in grief without much aim
and without answers as to why
their lives won't be the same.
