He Died For Freedom and a Short Story

He died for freedom and the righteous cause of liberty. He gave up his own life so others could enjoy liberty. "OOH What a lucky man he was. OOH What a lucky man he was.....Nobody could save him so he laid down and he died."*** The Short Story.*** "Oh What a Lucky Man he was."*** He died alone with no freedom fighters at his side. He fought against slavery and oppression and to help liberate his fellow man. But he was just another human, and an ordinary man. He was not a professional solder or a police man. He witnessed danger around him so he sacrificed his life for his fellow woman. He died in an dark and dangerous ally way, trying the save the life and the virtue of a young woman. Vicious hoodlums instantly attacked and knifed him. The earth cried out in pain, as it received the life blood of a young and noble man. Their attackers also murdered the young woman, after robbing her of her virtue! A few days later their bodies were discovered by the police women and the police man. He was given a hero's funeral for the courageous way he died. He wasn't a pillar of the community, he was not important nor gainfully employed. If the facts be made known, he was unemployed. He never held a job in his entire young life. He was a drifter and a loner. He lived and died a John Doe and she also lived and died as a Jane Doe. They enjoyed their fifteen minutes of fame upon their untimely demise. The law enforcement community and the family of the young woman mourned their wasted young lives! The hoodlums were apprehended by the law. But they did not repent of their dastardliness deeds. They held no remorse at all. How many other victims' did they stab with their knives? Love as always, Roxanne Lea Dubarry Roxy Lea 1954 Roxy 1954/ October Country October 05, 2020 ***This is a fictional short story.
