Devastation

Bombs have thwacked

Against the black,

Children cried

Many have died,

Hums of Blitz

Crumbling buildings to bits,

Across the channel they go

To avenge their homeland's glow,

But Death awaits

At the golden gates

For red-painted soldiers' slates,

As the lone man slurs

His final words,

The President hears the twinkling of tears

As he solemnly states:

London's been bombed.
