2 Para, June 82..... on ,
It was some show......
Better, than Dante's inferno.
Bright colours.....,
Filled the night, as....
Death.... filled the air,
With a living,screaming rainbow !
Swathes of fiery light plucked,
Holes, in mortal souls.
While bansheeś .....eerie cries !
Heralded the end, for some.
While Paratroopers fought.
As shells and bombs rained down.
Some....were just thrown aside,
tossed, .....in the air.
To land and lie, and briefly laugh.....
Before rising up,
to join in deaths dance, once more.
And as suddenly as it begun.
Once more Silence......
Filled the land,
as dawn, begun to break.
For the Valkyries .....
had filled their quota.
On yon.....last
vista....
Way down South!
Just before Stanley,at a place.....
Called
Wireless Ridge.
