Flight UB181/182 or IC777
It is sad to see destruction in our beautiful world. This biting verse uses imagery to grapple with how some people pillage their ‘conquered land’ and others, by the bombings and other attacks, create a ‘Hades’ or place of underworld and death. The final words seek a ray of hope.

Customers for flight
UB181 and UB182
Can you come through.
Flight UB181
Will land first
On ‘Conquered Land’.
Flight UB182
Will descend to
‘Hades’.
You will arrive
On your ‘dead-line’
If you choose UB flights
On ‘Death Culture Airlines’
For those
Who wish to indulge
Their fetish
Of fury.
Those interested in ‘Horizons of Hope’
Are called to board
Flight IC777
To land at ‘New Dawn’.
No return flight
From there
Will be
Desired.
