Travails of a Travel

a poem by Aparna Ajith Dr

Such a sudden air crash
With a single second’s flash!

Why did they travel?
Just to be a part of this travail?

They have created a terrible pain
With the tragic landing of a plane.

Was it a furious flight
To change their plight?

What has happened on the runway?
That has taken sundry lives away?

The downpour and lock-down are in inclement
People do not see any sort of increment.

Mission Vande Bharat landed
Miserable minds stranded

They have nothing to be upset
As they won’t witness any more sunset.
