Hiroo Onoda waged a guerrilla campaign,
That lasted 30 years.
I think, quite frankly he was insane,
Or else paranoid about his fears.
He thought Japan was still at war,
When the war was already won,
But old Onoda was sure about what he was fighting for,
And he considered the battle just begun.
Casualties reduced his unit to four,
And he was begged repeatedly to desist,
They told him to do so till ’74,
But he thought the allies were forcing him to persist.
He continued until there was just him alone,
And his superior officer was found,
To tell him that he was one deluded drone,
And to run the idiot to ground.
