one-way ticket
I don’t care where you’re from
we’re all temporarily visiting
foreigners in our own little world
or traveling extensively abroad
whether by land or sea or air
we’re randomly cast together
unchosen companions integrated
into an unlikely community
a single entity
be it aboard a bus or ship or plane
departures and arrivals taking place
morning noon and night
loved ones sitting next to strangers
sadistic gamblers laying odds
which ones make it home alive
january two thousand twenty

You are right my friend. Tomorrow may not come, we must enjoy today. It is sad when we hear of the terrible incident of a plane being shot down. These people left many tears to be cry for them. Many sad hearts. I pray they found a better place.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
You are welcome dear poet.
