HOW TRUE

A Land No Longer Fit For Heroes

by

Anon

 

They gave me a D Day Medal

But what it brings to mind,

That they should strike another

For those we left behind.

 

Not just our mates in graves afar,

But wives and dads and mothers,

The girl from round the corner

Our sisters and our brothers.

 

They worked from early morning

 And all through the night,

Defied the might of Hitler’s bombs

To help us win that fight.

 

A land that’s fit for heroes?

Oh what a load of mugs,

All we finished up with

Is a land that's filled with thugs.

 

These brave lads go out at night

To win their accolades,

Robbing all the poor old souls

And beating up old maids.

 

The judges sitting on the bench

When they hear the news,

Say - "Oh you naughty little boys"

And send them on a cruise.

 

 

Sharing information with others is rewarding in itself, the pieces from the jigsaw begin to fit together and a picture begins to appear. Improve your knowledge and help make the Fepow Story an everlasting memorial to their memory.
