Love England

(1)Dear Alfred,

(2) My breath is fading

I know not why

Each may be my last

So I'm sending you a final poem

(3) In times of pain,

Your face brings me bliss

In times of darkness,

Your voice brings me light

(4) In times of hell,

Thoughts of you bring me heaven

In times of sorrow,

You bring me to love

(5) Death is upon us

It's like a modern Black Plague

Death is upon me

(6) Love Englan

(7) And so the last letter was never drawn

The country of Britain was no more

After reading the poem

A young country wept

(8) A wave of sorrow

It's victims; America, France, Canada and Japan

All four became miserable

Dropping into a sort of dark age

(9) The former colonies mourned a parent

The former husband mourned a lover

The former pal mourned a great friend

And the entire world took a moment of silence

(10) A moment of tears

A moment of remembrance

A moment of mourning

(11) The next day,

Four countries took their lives

(12) And around the world

There was nothing

But a dead silence
