Thank you so much to everyone at the M.O.D and the RAF and to all who have kindly supported my writing.

Through pain

July 5, 2026

Through pain,
through hurt,
rise up like a revolution,
and in your individuality,
rise up like an evolution from the Earth,
rise and forget bitterness,
forget hate,
forget jealousy and fight it with truth,
and fight it for all you are worth,
and with perseverance,
never,
never give in despite the suffering and the hurt,
and with truth,
with truth,
you will conquer the lies upon the earth.
