My Poetry. VE. DAY. 2020.

Today we celebrate the life
of men and women who fought
They had no choice to refuse
a miserable life they sought.
As the guns fired in anger
the bombs dropped with malice
they killed without compassion
every Tom Dick and Alice.
And as the hatred grew
for almost all human kind
The stronger got even stronger
whilst the fascists grew blind.
The men and women defeated
an evil without any doubt
So God bless every one of them
as we give you all a "shout".

Today we Celebrate VE Day, can you imagine what our lives would have been like under Hitler?
Perish the thought. Let us celebrate the Men and Women, (some still alive) who made sure we remained 
free. We will never forget what you done for us.
