Tribute to Andrew Breitbart

Too alive for life, the world unbound

Unraveled as your unkempt soul

Sprawled before a million eyes

Your images still haunting

The ever-present ether

So intangible, so transient, so real

Filled with timeless passion unrelenting

The shining mind and slapdash grin

Draped upon a mercurial spirit

Striving for its bitter justice

Reveling in the hatred of lesser men

Not holding to truth so dear

The merry prankster, in life as in death

We all wondered

Upon the dreadful news

For the fleetest of moments

If this was your last laugh

Your most magnificent trick of all –

Alas, the trick was on Death Himself

For grasping our mightiest warrior

And taking him in his ablest time

Only to be tormented with eternal joviality

Until He sues for Peace; and granting leave,

And no one left to conquer, he will cede at last

Contented to his own.

– Rest in Peace, Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
