Poem

Edvard's exile could not deter
the course as it flowed
or blood that drove
through his body

life had to change
when the soldiers came
bringing tanks and arms of oppression

machines of war rolled and crushed
Europe was hushed
marching on the 15th
raising flags and ideals

London resigned to opening doors
a haven of sorts
for a few
families and friends
were left to defend
breaking cogs to dismantle and hinder
the view

hiding to assemble
coded messages
that were shared and leaked
though aggression peaked
proving too strong to overcome

yet hearts still beat
and there lay a pulse
duty could not be ignored 

as the voices aligned
with a throbbing increase

representing a nation 
two and more gave themselves 
and rose to the call of the people
standing up
proving no longer the victim

for human passion will smash and smelt iron
selflessly with a cost that would seem to outweigh
the weight of a loss
of one soulless life
 
we remember that day 
the 27th of May
when Jan and Josef gave their all for the fight
and with them hope and freedom were alive.
