Joe Rosochacki - Checkmate Bobby Fischer

The King has fallen,
His castling did not work,
The horsemen of death took him away,
No longer on this earth would he have Chess to play.

The genius that had taken him to heights never before imagined,
That thinking may have caused him to think irrationally.
So there is fine line between genius and insanity,
He renounced the American citizenship,
He considered the allied powers are the axis of evil.
He was 64,
he never got older,
(According to Lennon-McCartney)
So he will go down in history defeating Boris Spassky at the height of the Cold War,
But no in the minds of patriots who gave their life for this country and the world,
Yes, the world, if things were different he would die in a Nazi controlled Iceland,
There he would fit well;
his bigotry was out of sight,
Because of his anti-Semitism,
along with Henry Ford,
he would be speaking German,
And defend his title for Deutschland.
For the Fuerher and the Third Reich.
