#spitfire
They were young starry-eyed, yet too soon so many had to die. Brave to a fault with wanderlust of youth, no challenge spurned however seemingly uncouth. In azure blue skies with only clouds as friends, they sought their prey through war's myopic lens. No quarter given and none spared by their foes, incandescent bullets superseding schoolyard blows. Skill and verve no match for destiny's roulette, to survive another day an all too losing bet. Still they flew and fought with all their might, for love of country protecting it from blight. Summoned by that bell with its strident chilling tones, pervading every pore of their worn and tired bones. Verve and duty each relying on the other, no place to hide but raw courage as their cover. For all those boys that fast turned into men, saving our isles from sweeping plain to gleaming glen, We shall remember you forever in our lore, the few that gave so much and often so much more.

We shan't forget you - Battle of Britain's longest day August 15
Demonic possession is what it feels like sometimes, The way I spit words out and they just happen to rhyme I sit and think sometimes, about what I wanna write But then it never comes to me , avoids me it stays outta sight and I Don't know why I'm writing this, I'm sure I'll find a message To send across the void that is this world and then the rest will All make sense, no pretence, nor any pretext That I'm using just busting words before I forget I gotta add a little something about what happened today I got my ****** grade from chemistry it was no A Just a D, and I was worried but my Father doesn't care I'm no good at Chemistry, he knows that it ain't fair It's all about experimentation and adapting To the strengths and weaknesses that make you a masterpiece happening This world is full of unique people and you are another one too So you gotta put your head down, do what you gotta do I would like to make an announcement, before it leaves my mind To clear up some other **** that I left behind Me and Georgia now, you know her? I wrote a lot About how much I hated her, how I wanted to rot Yeah, we're good now, so please do not look back On my works, when I went bezerk and launched a stupid internet attack Some of it was my fault, and I've come to terms with it We good now, it's okay, so please don't read that **** I'm sitting here on my bed, not knowing what I'm about to write Just knowing that I need another way to pass the night So I spit fire, I'll retire, maybe right about now Have a good day or night, my friends, be careful when you go out <3
