132 people on board
Some happy, some bored
Some rejected, some adored
Not knowing, they are sitting on death’s springboard
I was on flight MY5735 to meet my sweetheart
Guangzhou goddess who stole my heart
Focused on our meeting’s imaginary part
Before my world came apart
The taxi was right on the time
I was happy though my visit was a victimless crime
As my life partner was troubling me since long-time
I was too excited to meet my newfound love and share some happy time
That was just my dream
Love alone was my visit’s theme
I was so lost in daydream
The only trouble was I forgot to find my shaving cream
But since morning I was bound for my end
As his shaving cream, my roommate refused to lend
Despite knowing, I am going to meet my new girlfriend
And shops are closed in Kunming due to weekend
Even a small worry can be deadly
Fate may no longer be friendly
Someone may be missing you so badly
Due to sudden freefall my legs started shaking like that of Elvis Presley
My girlfriend called me before the flight took to the sky
I unknowingly told her a lie
That for her, my love will never die
I will meet her today before she winks her eye
God never care for his victims and their desire
Do you wonder for this carnage what God require
Just malfunction the Airplane’s most insignificant wire
And getting it fixed by a mechanic who is a new hire
The plane’s crew is always happy to dance in clouds
So high above the maddening crowds
But this plane could not dodge the clouds
And fell on a mountains far away from the crowds
If I could again re-write my stars
I will prefer to travel by hired cars
I will never allow anyone to give me scars
Will never leave the sight of woman who declares, I am yours
But the course of this flight today was heavenly bound
It was destined to fall on the ground
Boeing aircraft are so renowned
But when death plays it's opera , no one hears a sound
Why do planes trespass the quietness of clouds and sky
To escape our miseries on the earth, we fly so high
I would have loved to say to her my last goodbye
But my death I could not defy and plunged to earth from blue sky
