Baggage, check-in, and boarding
The excitement of the crowd is at its high.
Unpredictable next morning.
Who knows? The Dreamliner will die.
Young and old, ladies and gents.
Innocent kids with their Teddy
Relatives, selfies, and friends.
Last farewell with their buddies.
The journey with an unexpected disaster.
Dreams turn to ashes.
Tragedy strikes faster.
Without blinking eyelashes.
Flames, sounds, and the roof come down.
Residents of the hostel rooms,
They couldn't even eat the last morsel of the lunch bowl.
Within seconds, flames engulfed part of the town.
Crashing of the AI Flight 171
Leaving behind only tears
Calamity to innocent people.
In need of condolences and prayers
