**my friend is a pilot and I felt his words were a thing of beauty, so I made them into a poem, which he has now put on his favourite social networking profile :)))***


You, mere mortal, little dot
 

My ground-tethered cohabitant of earth
 

Bound by your everyday drudgery and monotony
 

Look up to the skies
 

See me look down upon you
 

I am god-like
 

I am amused by your scurrying and scrambling,
 

Your stress and worry
 

I soar the skies
 

I don't feel your plight
 

Cocky in the cockpit, I take flight
