[hometext] => I wrote this sonnet while I was supposed to be revising war poetry for GCSE English.
[bodytext] => Beyond remembrance and imagination A war too terrible for comprehension Against pernicious tyranny, for salvation To halt an evil rapacious ascension Raged across desolate plains of earth And in skies of turbid stormy chaos Suffering pestilence and abject dearth Perpetual terror and the agony of loss Wingèd beasts of steal, soldiers iron valiant Strove in bloody battle with a baleful foe Identical but for moral alignment And the beauty of the countries they know Now in those selfsame lands ungratefully We all do dwell in peace and prosperity.
