Er.. I am bad at poems but just tried to compose this one how is it BTW?... 

   An aviation battle to our front,
For the survivors we hunt,
   From our old flyers like Indian and Jet to our new ones IndiGo and Kingfisher,
Some with fleets of Airbus' some with fleets of Boeings,
   The machines will do their jobs of flying so will the staff,
Just like a battle where the soldiers fight wherever they're told,
   But the battle depends on how long will their shields hold and food doesnt turn cold,
How good will their leaders plan out attacks,
   Just here how well the management plan their attacks,
And how long will their supplies of funds last how long they can rely on stocks,
   Hurried breakevens, million dollar funds, attack by ads, young men and machines,
They've got it all,
   But we pray and watch how long will they stall or when will they fall.
