Kamikaze Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Kamikaze
Japanese suicide pilots in World War Two, called ‘Divine Wind'


Honoured to be chosen
Young pilots
Gave lives for the Emperor
Believing he is a living God.

Planes stripped down
Fuel, for one way flight
Taking off on deadly mission
Accepting death for Japan's glory.

Attacking enemy ships
Diving onto decks
Plane exploding,
One Japanese pilot killing hundreds.
