The Voice Premiere Contest Winner

Though hope retreats, a master seized the reins to steer his legions straight into the storm. He stands as stone while motivation wanes and cityscapes recede beneath the swarm. For steel, like rain, continues to descend to test the will of English fortitude. Incessant rage, persisting without end, let skies unleash the devil’s turpitude. Relentless fire with no relief in sight harass our Brit tenacity to flinch. But, as it roars we must endure the plight for British pride surrenders nay an inch. Let hope be true then soar into the air to front these raging devils in the mist. Our British wings shall ride upon a prayer and all those huddled ‘neath the row, resist. Though Satan's ire has choked the English sky, dear London brace as all his angels fall, for British sons shall front this hell on high and never cede shall be our battle call.

Awesome poetry as per your usual, Mark. And with a great beat as well. Of course, the English, and by extension all of Europe, would likely have lost the great war if not for the entry of America

Thanks Tom, true that Europe would have been lost, but if Britain had failed to avoid a land assault in “The Battle of Britain”, the Normandy landings would not have happened. And, if Germany had not declared war on America, we wouldn’t have been in Europe. We actually went to Africa first. And ultimately, I believe Britain would have become part of Russia.
