PALAMEDES: V

2 0 0
                                    

Vanquish all those who are
Vulnerable to your attack

Victory will be ours, only if
Victim can be taken in great
Voluptuous numbers, not unlike a
Volcano in heat;

Videos of our reenactment will come in
Varying degrees of accuracy; yet
Very few of them will be true,
Very few will know the truth;

Venus will fall on this day,
Valuing its well-being, and giving
Volumes of bodies to the cause, as well as
Voice to the parade;

Very few of us will get out alive,
Very few of us care to,
Victory is inevitable,
Voices will run rampant;

V is carved into the doorway,
Visualizing our opinions, giving a
Vision to our enemy, they will not
Vanquish us at all;

Very little remains of our cause,
Victory is now a passing memory,
Volcanoes still rage in the land, yet
Very little rages within our hearts
