The other day
an old man passed away
They say
he was a cold warrior
from yesterday
All his passions had been spent
screaming about the red threat
Fighting those godless commies
who sought world domination
were his obsession
When communism fell
he rejoiced as did we all
but with their extinction
his purpose died too
Never fully recovering
from the wall coming down
This fallen refugee
of history
we bury today
with all the other lost warriors
of yesterday
