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.
