The Tale of the Liverpool Blitz

The Tale of the Liverpool Blitz

Mill Road Hospital took a Direct Hit
On the Maternity Ward indiscriminately killing Pregnant Women and new-born children 

Reduced the City , Docks and Quarter's to smouldering ashes

Blew the Malachant into a Billion
Shrapnel pieces the quake could be
heard over 3 miles away 

We even lost a National Treasure in
the form of Mary Lawson because she
never returned to the Bomb Shelter

Left countless homeless
But far more curse
Left thousands of Families bereft and bereaved 

Yet the question still persists 

Why help in the form of the R.A.F

Never Came
