I have wanted pain in reaction,
I have wanted thought-provoking words.
I have wanted to brand my words,
To wield them
As a knight wields a sword,
As an archer a bow and arrow.
I have wanted to speak,
And cut deep
Into the desolate heart.
I have wanted to write,
And reduce my enemies
To blabbering,
Blundering
Buffoons.
At last,
I have done this.
I have brandished
And bandied about
With witty words oft forgotten,
With thought inimitable,
With precision unduly.
And I have won.
Against the court jester,
The fool
And the sage,
I have won.
Beware my words,
They are wieldy
Beyond wonder.
