"Ideas are Bulletproof"

"Ideas are Bulletproof"

A Poem by Idyllwyld
"

An ode to V. What? This isn't conforming to the ode-format? Well bollocks to you.

"Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder, treason and plot,
I know of no reason why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot."


 

 

To you then, Master V....
Revolutionary, freedom fighter, catalyst, monster...
Sacrifices of straw and leaking barrels of gunpowder.
Hear hear, to you, for what is right, and for what can never be yours.
Hear hear, to you, for a world that hopefully never is, and sadly, never can hope to be afterwards.
 
 
For it is now I understand what is meant by the phrase:
"The thrill of a thousands worlds dying at once, but my ultimate goal lies beyond the downfall."
 
 
If only, Master V, and all your other names, if only we were as wise as you.
As driven as you, as cursed and blessed as you.
To know when to remove ourselves, for with hundreds of thousands of you,

we wouldn't need ourselves.


I tip my hat to you, sir. I bow and take my leave.

Author's Note

Idyllwyld
Quoted text is taken from V For Vendetta and other respective owners.

I usually proofread my works, however as always I'm sure there are typos and syntax errors. I appreciate any and all notices of that, and will work to correct those. If I haven't do know that I did acknowledge your notice and try implementing it, but found that it detracted from the effect I wanted and so omitted it.
