Though London Burns

And, never cede shall be the battle cry as London braces ‘neath a screaming tide. Though flames from hell kept falling from the sky, tenacity was not to be denied. Relentless fire, with no relief in sight, would taunt the British doggedness to flinch, and as it roared your hearts endured the plight for England pride surrenders nay an inch. But steel, like rain, continued to descend to test the will of English fortitude. Incessant storms, persisting without end, let skies unleash this devil’s turpitude. His words of strength were rendered to inspire though days grew dark and nights were lit a fire.

I have heard many family stories about the War, hard to believe in many respects, but those stories are important and should be told and re-told so we don't over romanticise. This poem captures some of the challenges and negative memories. Very important. Enjoyed. Best Cindyx
