In nineteen thirty-nine, a world at war,
the Second World War, a brutal score.
Axis powers rose, their evil spread,
Hitler, Mussolini, the world in dread.
Blitzkrieg in Europe, blitz on Britain's shores,
the Luftwaffe's reign, the world abhors.
Allies unite, a common goal in sight,
to rid the world of tyranny's blight.
The brave soldiers, heroes all,
their sacrifice, we must recall.
The lessons learned, the price of hate,
may we never again succumb to fate.
World War Two, a dark chapter of history,
but from its ashes, we strive for peace and unity.
