EMOTIONAL REJECTION


After leading Britain to victory
Against Nazi Germany Winston Churchill
Earned his place in history
Britain has been so intimated by Hitler
That petitions were being circulated at Oxford and Cambridge

That Britain should surrender to German
Hitler was roving around Europe at will
His war machine was seemingly unstoppable
Most of the Britain was defeated psychologically before the war started

But what Winston Churchill took charge
As prime minister on May 10, 1940
One month later leaders from around the world
Were wondering whether if France was defeated
Britain would quit as well

After so much great speech from Winston Churchill
By the power of his will and personality
Churchill as one historian puts it
Transformed cowards into brave men
And incredible things begin to happen

Five years later, the incredible became reality
On May 7, 1945, Germany surrendered to the Allied forces
How did Britain show their thanks to the man
Who had single handedly restored their resolve and determination
On July 25, not quit three months after Germany’s defeat

The nation showed their thanks to this great man
By summarily voting him out of office
Churchill was rejected by the very people
He had helped to save! He had pulled them together as a nation
And then with victory in hand they turned on him

Churchill was wounded
Perhaps you too likewise
