Young men die in battle
They die alone
Old men die on the stage
Even more alone
Last Thursday on CNN debate stage
Joe was struck a fatal blow
Bleeding, wounded, shocked
But he didn’t succumb
He valiantly stood his post
He stood up to a fetid barrage of lies and hate
To the end
Beaten but despite this
His Honor and virtue still standing
We see the calibre of a man
To move the arc of history ever so slightly upward
Honesty, truth and decency make a stand
To this old man, Joe is a hero
I only ask for his courage when the time comes
WCF good stuff
