Yeomanry is a designation used by a number of units or sub-units of the British Territorial Army, descended from volunteer cavalry regiments. Today, Yeomanry units may serve in a variety of different military roles.
In the 1790s, the threat of invasion of the Kingdom of Great Britain was high, after the French Revolution and the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. To improve the country's defences, volunteer regiments were raised in many counties from yeomen. While the word "yeoman" in normal use meant a small farmer who owned his land, Yeomanry officers were drawn from the nobility or the landed gentry, and many of the men were the officers' tenants or had other forms of obligation to the officers. These regiments became known collectively as the Yeomanry. Members of the yeomanry were not obliged to serve overseas without their individual consent.
During the first half of the nineteenth century Yeomanry Regiments were used extensively in support of the civil authority to quell riots and civil disturbances, including the Peterloo Massacre; as police forces were created and took over this role, the Yeomanry concentrated on local defence.
World War I (WWI), which was predominantly called the World War or the Great War from its occurrence until 1939 (World War II), and the First World War or World War I thereafter, was a major war centred in Europe that began on 28 July 1914 and lasted until 11 November 1918. It involved all the world's great powers, which were assembled in two opposing alliances: the Allies (based on the Triple Entente of the United Kingdom, France and Russia) and the Central Powers (originally centred around the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy; but, as Austria–Hungary had taken the offensive against the agreement, Italy did not enter into the war). These alliances both reorganised (Italy fought for the Allies), and expanded as more nations entered the war. Ultimately more than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million Europeans, were mobilised in one of the largest wars in history. More than 9 million combatants were killed, largely because of enormous increases in lethality of weapons, thanks to new technology, without corresponding improvements in protection or mobility. It was the sixth-deadliest conflict in world history, subsequently paving the way for various political changes such as revolutions in the nations involved.
to my child
for your eyes alone
all these years now gone
to my child
carry on
a love so real
never dies at all
and what i feel
will not fade at all
and all i ever wanted was to hold you
the forgotten way.
I now belong to heaven, I could not stay
there with you.
In a world without salvation, you will
pain your way
In my world, my creation
my scream bares your name. all glory, no shame
Rest assured that my wings they can carry you too
Rest assure that my wings they can carry you to
.inscense/the scent.the smell of my burning flesh.I'm sent.I am your burning flesh.flames burn bones to cinder.I want to see you burn.I want your ashes to bury the streets.Iwant to see you burn.I want your ashes to fall at my feet.one fine day.you will feel my warmth.you will breathe my smoke.
Stigma your name onto my lungs.
Every breath I take.
Is for you.
Every prayer I say.
For you.
You cut your name.
Into my flesh.
All the blood is for you.
Like a prayer for you.
I am the breath going in.
I am the breath coming out.
I am the breather but only for now.
I want you to know.
It’s time to trade those tears for scars.
It’s time.
To make your life worthwhile.
It’s time.
And.
Never forget.
You’ll always be the end of everything I‘ve ever done.
You will always be.
my love, why is pain inside our house?
why, love, why is darkness all around?
I'll shed my light, my love,
a rising sun, hold on
and when darkness comes on down
the dying of light. I will shine all night.
.this is a calling on you.your needle drew.the first blood of my war.the needle drew.the life right out of you.searched the blood.and all I found was you.I had forced you into my veins.we are the blood.we drain.in years of pain.
you have been touched.by the hand.accept your fate.now lead the way.ascend.to rise.above the whole.this is a calling.on you.I will beat you without anger and I will draw from your eyelid a tear.
Your silence rings in my ears
Long after you are gone
And silence hurts at times like these
And silence can be very noisy
(trust me)
My dearest scatter(ed) heart
If i only could shelter you from that pain(
(just to make it easier on you
or me?)
Can you see my pain? Could you bear this pain?
I am cutting of my fingers one by one.
Needle and tread.
(A ten bead necklace. For you.)
You are smiling.
For the first and the last time.
Now.
My body still bleeds invisible.
Chains encircle my broken wrists.
But we can get out of them.
.I will never kneel down.because the knives are too sharp.I won't let a hand hold me down.I won't let a foot mark my ground.the day.where pain became flesh.since that day on.it had begun.
seek truth.and you will find me.stay close.and you will see.speak silence.and you will hear me.
My heart is cold.
And so am I.
I sacrifice my heart to you.
So full / fool of you.
I cannot hear my bones break loud enough.
(I am so desperate to prove that I am alive.)
But you have bled me for the last time.
Now.
Umbilical cord strangled son
Nipples razorblade cut
To brestfeed a broken doll
Placenta kept cradle warm
Destroyer and Cleanser in One
My halo is a black light
Let my hug crush your ribcage
My soft kiss gives you bleeding lips
I gently stroke (your hair) and I scalp you
Count stars and wishes fall.
Now wish the same for me.
For you and me.
I’d give my life to make us whole.
Now.
Wish the same for me.
For you and me.
I’ll have to get out of my head.
And have to get myself into your heart.
Like night.
There is no place.
Where you stop and i start.
It is like.
You cry with my tears.
And we share a smile.
Heaven in your arms.
And life is calling out your name.
Sacred stars leave sacred scars.
And you’d scar me deeper than you could ever wish for.
The golden tears they feed the soil.
And in times of hunger.
I will forcefeed you.
I cannot live
I will not die
Without you
Dream in warmth
'till winter comes
Tears(s) me down
Like fall
Prick my finger and watch the hurt bleed away
When you see blood
Don't forget to breathe
When Blood sees Blood
Don't forget to die
The cancer is spread
This is the dance of the dead
I stepped out my body to lead myself through these darker of days
And it is bound to bring me down
(and i am bound to let you go)
I wish I(t) might
I wish i may into you
Right by your side
I am your shadow
And I forget sometimes that all your time cannot be mine
Standing still amidst
A commotion while every night
I lie awake
So long
Farewell
I felt/you said.
You/I was the promise.
You/I made to your/my heart.
I am still a lonely soul.
Stitches are sewn into my lips.
I watch.
My eyes scream for one last time.
Now.
As they are laced shut.
i am your silence.deafening
that silence defining
how you will wear my crown
my heir.my blood.my hands in time
root you faith in solid ground
always see everything
believe in your self.profound
i am silence dissapearing
your silence defining
and you will wear your crown
and you will make my world. your own
all the prayers in the world won't bring me back
but i now i'll be safe inside your heart
there will be sinners, there will be saints that cross your path
