I found a poem written and composed by Tommy Mills in the archives, who was Tommy Mills?

I don't want to fly
I want to go home
I don’t want to go in the air any more Where Mess'es and Zeros rip they roar Take me home to my Ma
Where "Les" Jappy can't get at me
"OH, MY"
I'm too young to die
I want to go home

-TOMMY MILLS. "HAPPY LANDINGS."
