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
