The red beast weeps

At a cemetery, a weeping ape (comunism) wearing a blood-stained uniform and holding a bloddy sword reads a newspaper with the headline: "Two radical murderers executed in Massachusetts. Riots." A sign among the tombstones reads: "Victims of Russian Reds," inscriptions on the tombstones include "Murdered Christians," "Red Slaughter," "Innocent Victims Brutally Murdered," "Royalists Murdered," "Russian Royal Family Murdered," and "Wholesale Slaughter." On the ground newspapers headlines read "Red Riots in France, Germany, Russia."
