I Just Wanted To Say
To all trolls, miscreants, malicious, aggressive-for-little-reason, gun slinging, shoot from the hip, no gooders, out there, in either this virtual world or IRL, I would have you know:
My name is not Maximus Decimus Meridius
I am not commander of the Armies of the North
Or indeed of any army
I am no General of a Felix Legion
I have no emperor to be loyal to
I do not seek my vengeance
In this life or the next
For my name is Valentinus Amator
A protector
Of peace
And love
And harmony
And Though I am an army of but one
My one word is likely
To turn into a sentence
For you
Of destruction
Against your miscreant deeds
For you are a scourge
A scoundrel
And a wretch
Less than a scrape of turd
That would stick to my sandal
Only to be wiped away
And put in the trash
With the other detritus of life
But, if you be a sordid abuser
Of any unrelenting type
Beware
For although my name is
Valentinus Amator
I will have our vengeance
In this world only
For there is no next
For you.
