Jan and Josef

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.
