200th post: The Vulcan Raven

Once upon a mission dreary,

while in my box, weak and weary

I grew tired from all the gore

Though I heard the colonel calling

soon I heard some footsteps falling

Falling out across the floor

“Tis some guard” I muttered “out patrolling the floor.”

“Only this, and nothing more.”

-

And though around me snow was falling

I dreamed that I heard Meryl calling

In a time before MGS4

Though Liquid held a nuclear missile

I sat and dreamed of an epistle

That I would write her and implore.

That I would see her once more.

When I finished with Foxhound’s chore.

-

But still I heard the footsteps sound

Those heavy footsteps all around.

Over the winter wind’s heavy roar.

And as the footsteps were drawing near.

I found my soul gripped with fear.

My anxiety began to soar

but told myself it was just the door

the door was stuck, and nothing more.

-

But all at once there came a tapping

A firm and strong, steady rapping.

On the wall of the box I was sure.

The box returned into my items

Whoever this was, I’d have to fight em.

This would likely be a bore.

Just a patrol to wipe the floor.

Just a patrol, and nothing more.

-

But oh, the terror of it all

A giant man, seven feet tall.

Holding a chain gun, I could’ve swore.

Covered in tattoos, head to toe

An ounce of mercy, he did not show.

I feared that soon the blood would pour.

and be washed away on the island’s shore.

Quoth Vulcan Raven “METAPHOR!”

-

I must confess, confusion gripped me

But soon the chaingun’s bullets ripped me.

And sent me sprawling to the floor.

I quickly hid and ate a ration

I feared I would find no compassion.

From him nor Meryl, of that I was sure.

I thought of the the tank top that she wore

Quoth Vulcan Raven “METAPHOR.”

-

I feared at once I would not survive.

Would I leave Shadow Moses alive?

Never had I felt this fear before.

But with determination I aimed my gun

I knew there was no chance to run

And I took the shot like knights of yore

And hoped his life would soon be o’er

Quoth Vulcan Raven “METAPHOR”

-

The bullet found purchase in his head

I knew at once he must be dead

I watched him fall down to the floor.

But it seemed he was still breathing

The loathing I felt was surely seething.

I expected to hear some ancient lore

“Tell me!”  I screamed. “What is in store?”

Quoth Vulcan Raven “METAPHOR.”

“But what is this supposed to mean?”

“Is there something I have not seen.”

“Surely there is something to say, something more.”

“Is it of sweet Meryl that you speak?”

“Or the nuclear launch codes that you seek?”

“Tell me Raven, I do implore.”

“Tell me Raven, tell me more.”

Quoth Vulcan Raven, “METAPHOR.”

-

Such a figure I had never seen

What did this man really mean?

Is there some meaning I did ignore?

In my heart terror was reigning

Soon the Raven’s life was waning.

“Tell me Raven, what does Liquid have in store.”

“Tell me, tell me, before you are no more.”

Quoth Vulcan Raven, “METAPHOR.”

-

His eyes grew dim. His breath was slowing

The birds soon circled, despite the snowing.

His feathered brothers, how they soar.

He looked at me in quite a daze

And through a grim and bloody haze.

His life around him did pour

He spoke once, and was no more

Quoth Vulcan Raven, “METAPHOR.”

-

Suddenly, I had a realization.

That though I was serving my nation.

My life was theirs and nothing more.

Oh the folly! I was such a damned fool.

To the government, I was a tool.

Used and left, like some old whore.

And from Foxdie my life would soon be o’er.

My whole life has been, a metaphor.

200th post coming up later today.  It’s gonna be a cool one.  I’m posting this so it goes up today because I’m excited to see what you guys think.
