The Last WarriorA Poem by Julie DeshtorThis is a very loose translation of a the song "The Last Warrior" by a Russian band. I'd like to dedicate it to the last Anarchist, Nestor MaknoMy labored heartbeat is telling me I’m not dead.
They came at us like a mud slide, engulfing the land.
My labored heartbeat is telling me I’m not dead.
The last defender of a dead land…
We cannot win in this battle I’m fighting in vain.
The last defender of a dead land…
