War - Ww2 - Second World War And Lend-Lease Poem by Paul Warren

The British in 1940 stood up to the Nazi Horde
When the European Powers lost to them without accord
The only way that they would survive is with the Americans
When Lend-Lease was the only way to get material in hand

But the agreement between Churchill and Roosevelt occurred
Meant the Arsenal of the free world would begin to build
And those fighting tyrants would have weapons to yield
So the won the war together defeating Germany and Japan as heard

They say the only way that they both signed this deal together
Was for Britain to relinquish it's World Empire forever
So India, Africa, South America and Asia gained independence
With the sun setting on the British Empire without brilliance.
