VE Day 2025
Its 80 years since victory was announced
When Europe finally won world war two
But the conflict continued in the far east
When atomic bombs were also used too
It was six years and one day of conflict
Before at last Europe finally won
It took another four months in the far east
But at last the long battle was won
Over 70 million lost their lives
Far more civilians than military died
Just imagine being caught up in the blitz
When there was absolutely nowhere to hide
Thousands of countrymen lost their lives
Trying to defend the land on behalf of others
Also the structure had to be built once again
Costing millions to ensure the community recovers
Food was on ration for another nine years
But the ration on clothes for only four
We cannot imagine how those families felt
Even with peace they could eat nothing more
Many families still had nowhere to go
They’d lost their homes and possessions as well
We just cannot imagine how they all felt
It must have seemed they had found their own hell
Why are the leaders of the world so greedy
Not just happy with what they all own
Always looking to take more from others
Instead of leaving them well alone?
Although those 80 years have past now
The old traditions are still there
With the recent problems in this modern world
Then world war three is really a scare?
So lets hope that common sense will prevail
The world leaders learn from their past mistakes
That peace stays with us and we get on with our lives
So we all live in harmony as long as it takes
Although I don’t have too many years left
My children and grandchildren still do
So fingers crossed the fighting will cease
So they can have another 80 years of peace too!!!
