Souls Shriek Silently

---

Old grey head bent in prayer,
Young red mouth moving with words
No one will hear.
Child's brow pressed to mother's breast,
A mad man fighting to escape.
White faces and ashen lips
Shout silently for help
From an unresponsive fate.
A woman moans for husband,
And a child anxiously waiting,
Sucks his thumb.
A shudder passes through trembling flesh,
And a sigh escapes from ashen lips
As the wind rushes frantically by.
Thunder like crash, oblivion shrieks,
Red flames sheath silver body.
Silence.
Air Crash: No Survivors
