DOMINOES FOR A FRAULEIN

HE CHALLENGED AN ONCOMING TANK,
THIS MAN IN TIANAMEN SQUARE.
DEMOCRACY KNEW NO BETTER ALLY,
HIS SPIRIT WAS THE FAIREST OF FAIR.

EUROPE WOULD FACE THE ONCOMING TANK,
THE BERLIN WALL CAME TUMBLING DOWN.
CZECHOSLAVAKIA GRABBED THE GAUNTLET,
WHILE ROMANIA BLOODIED ITS CROWN.

WHY DID COMMUNISM LAST SO LONG?
THE SECRET POLICE KNOW ONLY TOO WELL.
REPRESSION AND FEAR GRIPPED THE SOUL,
WITH AN OVERKILL THAT MADE LIFE HELL.

FREEDOM OF SPEECH WAS ONLY A DREAM,
DEMOCRACY WAS THE UTIMATE GOAL.
THEIR SPIRIT SCARED THE ONCOMING TANK,
UNTIL THEIR PIECES BECAME A WHOLE.
