Air Raids.

Enemy planes are overhead,
I am in a shelter secure.
Sooner would I be in my bed,
And not listen to the bombs for sure.
Each bomb that fell brought death and destruction,
Solid buildings capsized and fell to the ground.
It was chaos and sheer disruption,
We waited for the enemy to finish this round.
Night after night searchlights filled the sky,
Our fighters, Spitfires harried the enemy planes.
Many were shot down from on high,
And debris fell like the summer rains.
Little sleep at night, days filled with despair,
All around destruction wherever one looked.
It was no exaggeration to say that each one did their share.
Until the enemy goose was cooked,
Long years of suffering and pain.
Hardships a way of daily stress,
Each making sure that the enemy did not gain.
Each wave of assault we rode to the very crest.
We gained supremacy of the skies,
No more enemy bombers got through.
We thanked the aircrews on high,
We owed this to the courageous few.
Then came the doodlebug,
a man less flying construction.
This was the newest German machine to cause heavy destruction.
Then came the rockets the V2,
Tried to break our spirits bold.
A secret weapon from the Nazi crew,
Left us with feelings cold.
Peace eventually came at last,
to Britain's battered soul.
Now they are things of the past,
And we have reached our chosen goal.

| It seems so primitive to me that every 20 years of so mankind has to have a war. We have not made any progress in that aspect no matter how progressive we have become in combat. We take young heroic soldiers and sent them out to die for what? We have yet to attain true peace in this world so what do we accomplish by killing them off? I hate that mankind is still so primitive and primal. I guess we will just never learn to get rid of the ones causing it and negate the power of the greedy and powerful politicians. Rita |
