A Satire Of Syndicates (U15 Procrastination)

[ra9una]

Note: All of these, save steel meridian, where written before the release of syndicates,

So along with it being a joke, keep that in mind before you vindicate.  

 

I've been distracted by all the hype,

waiting anxiously for the update to be ripe.

I've been besides myself,

waiting for it to hit the shelf.

 

So, trying to keep myself from this tizzy,

I decided to write a few quick jokes to keep me busy.

Remember, the key word here is satire,

..though nothing as extravagant as a sparkling vampire.

 

-Enjoy

 

Intro (A little long, and it derails half way through; lots of esoteric warframe humor mind you)

Oh what a joy it is to watch, people making alliances.

They have little to go on, yet they pick sides with extreme biases.

Through logic or artifice, their syndicate, they will defend,

and those who oppose, with excellent arguments, they will condescend.

 

Oh what a joy it is, to watch player, with confidence and gusto proclaim,

“This is my allegiance, my loyalty goes here in this political game.”

I usually sit, watch and smile, I'll wave and say “Okay.”

when it comes to my ultimate allegiance, I'll continue to delay.

 

Oh what a joy you say it is? To watch me, in my indecision delay?

“You lack loyalty, faith. Or are you just too cool, and must underplay?”

Is that what you say?

Why, you poor lost lamb, you could hardly be more astray.

I'm so enthusiastic you don't even know,

every revealed feature sets my eyes aglow

during the live stream, I was like a jumping bean

and I prepare, bracing my body, as it where, for update fifteen.

 

I apologize, for wasting your time with this text, in this forum

I'm not a poet, you can tell, I resort to using words like jorum

to keep my rhymes from falling apart.

I'm having fun, but would hardly call it art.

While out of place and used only for it's structure, that is a word mind you,

Jorum: large bowl for serving drinks, is, thanks to google, what you'll construe.

 

Poetry most definitely isn't my cup of tea,

but as a write of prose, I think you'll agree

That a five hundred page book on the subject

you would be unlikely to read, I suspect.

 

I think I've derailed, much like the ever accelerating hype train might,

but, reluctantly I suppose, just this once, it'll be alright.

With sigils and syndicates unambiguous,

and archwings being ubiquitous,

update fifteen promises to be delicious.

Still so much to look forward to, and so few words left to rhyme

three hundred words in without even mentioning the legendary grate prime.

 

On a final note, Steve, with your coding and technical mumbo jumbo,

making you a Canadian, pink shorts clad Columbo.

Scott, our demands for buffs and nerfs keep you scratching your magnificent beard,

and no matter the rage, you take it in stride to asses the player feedback, justly feared.

Geoff, with animations so good “How does one even pull that off!” I yell at my monitor,

I kid, I'm not frustrated , I could learn black magic too, till then, count me an impressed auditor.

Sheldon, breaking the dev build, an occasional jest, and there's no stopping you when you start.

I'm not blind, you aren't just there to promote the maple leafs, in this game we love, you do your part.

Rebecca and Megan, who, with unknown and probably arcane powers,

keep some... some, order in this crazy, community of ours.

I'd like to go on, for every one of you, but I don't think you realize how long this is to do.

For me that is... I bet a legit poet would knock it out in a minute or two.

Then laugh and say “Wow, this is so bad.”

He'd then look at me and ask “Why so mad?”

And he, is the reason Vauban has a launch pad.

But that's besides the point, to all of you working hard to bring us this update

Thank you very much, and on my part I'll try and not be an ingrate,

and wait, patiently--is it time now-- for the update fifteen due date

 

Holy RNG batman, can you believe I started talking about syndicates exclusively?

And true twists and turns I went totally off subject, can I ever ramble effusively.

Oh, the writing is so bad, I must stop, making you read this is just too cruel!

Stop! Stop! Stop typing before I really make myself look like a fool!

Honestly, it really isn't so bad, I've written much worse,

it's an internet habit, being self-deprecating every other verse,

helps quell the tirade of people being contentious,

where as they are encouraged, in my natural state of pretentious.

In the end, one might say, it's a fakade.

 

Well isn't Cantis a pretty name? I think it's a great name.

Though, being in the red veil, I'd wager she's one crazy dame.

If you ask her, it's even prettier on a canvas, written in the blood of the enemy now maimed.

I mean, not long ago, many red veil members were prisoners, thanks to our efforts reclaimed.

And now that they're out, they're already on the offensive?

“No cost too great, no blood too precious”, sounds expensive.

It's wonderful! Do your thing, but don't count on me to save you,

I don't mean to be harsh but, I've go other things to do.

 

Seriously, these nutters want to purge the whole universe of corruption,

but they need to call in outside back up for the slightest little disruption.

I don't mean to bang on about the rescue, and I won't hold it over your head,

but if you're going to pay for a feast, first make sure that you can afford the bread.

The enemy is corrupt, you got that right, but there also ruthless and strong, unimaginably though,

if you send those geniuses that got captured, thinking it will go well, think again cream puff.

 

I don't want you to misunderstand,

I'm not trying to insult your high command.

I like your ideas, think they're good and respect them. I agree!

Things I dislike are eradicated, by the hands of volt, mag or banshee.

But what your lofty goals seem to omit, is that I am a super-soldier, with a magic exo-skeleton,

and you are a group of squishy people, without space magic armor, only flesh, soft as gelatin.

Those who lower their arms and quit, in the face of adversity, I have little respect for,

and those who even fail to see the corruption, I'd go as far as to say I abhor.

But please, you have to calm down, be reasonable,

a violent purge right now simply isn't seasonable.

 

To succeed, you must think tactically,

even through stealth and sneaky staby,

you can't fix the whole world at once, even if you're willing, the loss would be too great,

you must, I urge you, calm the -Bleep- down and recognize you're being irate.

 

New loka, what's up? I really do like your logo.

I might help you, but I still think your goals are a no-go.

I know Loka is “world” in Sanskrit, but do you know what loca is in Spanish?

It's cuckoo for brains. Please, you think you'll end this conflict being clannish?

 

I know humans, they aren't great. There are a few, I'll admit, who aren't dumb,

but most are, not to mention the piles and troughs of villains, douches and scum.

I don't mean to forsake, insult and desecrate the whole race.

But come on! They barely had the technology to go to space!

 

If you think the “pure human form” will save you from grineer bullets of unreasonable girth,

then I'd make the conjecture that you did manage to grow something on earth.

But I may be being too harsh, your goal is lofty, and you seem awfully set to it, I'll give you that.

I would like to see you convince me, that humans aren't as a collective race, a brat.

 

If I put away my less than impressed view for humans, I'd like also to point out,

the earth is a small piece of the puzzle. Restoring it won't end the conflict, at least of that I doubt.

And even were it true, to see that this is not the time to rebuild, you wouldn't need a wizard.

Right now, restoring a planet, a culture, in this war, would be building a house of card in a blizzard.

You seem blind, selfish and distracted,

your plans unchanged, no matter how protracted

 

I don't want to see you hammer your head painfully and without success against a steel wall,

you need to take a page from the others and focus on this war, you can rebuild later after all.

With a little perspective, maybe you'll see

humans aren't all they're cracked up to be.

It's impressive really, you've amassed many who will follow.

But, what I say holds true, even if you find it hard to swallow.

 

Knowledge is power, that's what they say,

and I promise you, that isn't idle cliché.

Yet, you may be a genius, Suda, you may be very smart,

but so am I, more so even. In a league entirely apart.

I know you're clever, calculated, tactical and tricky.

But what I have, and you don't, is access to a wiki.

 

I need to point out, you're a computer, a floating cube.

Don't think I'm disinterested, don't think I'm a rube.

I know; knowledge is all well and fine,

but, you're defeated by a spilled cup of wine.

When it's time to take up arms,

all you can do is sound the alarms.

And so help me, if you tell me “All systems nominal”,

I'll be all in rage, peeved something phenomenal!

 

I understand that destruction you deplore.

Yet we're still playing a dynamic game of war.

This is not a playground for even the most devote bookworm,

you can't sit around studying the content of Kubr'O's in the long-term.

 

I'm willing to be an observer,

I'm willing to protect your server.

But what can you do for me?

I'm an expensive guardian you see.

You may think I'm greedy

and ethically seedy

but my equipment costs me money.

In fact were I to avoid killing,

I'd need twice as much schilling!

You may say I've grown callus and cold,

but knowledge doesn’t buy gold.

And for me to be so dangerous that the fighting I dissuade,

I require something, rare and expensive, a costly blade.

 

I can appreciate you're devoid of emotion.

A logical, cold reasoning is a sound notion.

There's some thing you seem to eschew,

let me take a moment and enlighten you:

“Suda's thirst for knowledge and abhorrence of destruction can only be described as passionate” it says.

Well call me childish but to me that statement sits uncomfortably like an awkward little fez.

Passionate: Showing or caused by strong feelings.

Feelings: A case of emotional dealings.

I like your sigil, my favorite shape is the hexagon,

but you lack training and discipline, young cephalon.

 

I also hear you're a vast consciousness, wide spanning.

I bet that comes in quite useful, when your next move you're planning.

But it leaves me wondering, with all the reach, all the processing power,

what is it that you're planing up above in your ivory tower?

 

Why being the intelligent creature I am

I'd say you have a weapon more dangerous than a gram.

And I'd say it's safe to stipulate,

you might at any moment choose to manipulate.

And I really like that,

mind you I'm mad as a bat.

 

It's true, I'm a complete and total psychotic,

and to most my actions may seem quixotic.

But that is the price I sadly must pay for being such a phenom,

you can appreciate that, no price too great for intelligence, not even this maddening venom.

 

You and I will get along swimmingly.

Forfeiting our souls so willingly.

But what of the others, who depend on common sense,

I think the adaptation might be too immense.

I think someone with all their sanity,

won't be able to indulge your vanity.

 

Nevertheless, hard as they may try,

there's one thing, none will deny.

You're another type on entity,

one with an abstract, scary identity.

You're another state of being,

and through knowledge your ideas seem freeing.

But as another type of consciousness, I suspect you'll send many fleeing.

And alone with your knowledge what can you do?

You know, just like me that it's true.

 

Me, I like that at any time, you may seize control,

it tickles my maniac fancy, and entices me to enroll.

I'm not a loyalist, but if you happen to have an agreeable voice,

well, I make no promises but that might settle my choice.

But as I've establishes, I'm one of the crazies,

and it isn't entirely unlike that my choice will leave me pushing daisies.

 

 

Suda, a cephalon of knowledge, blue and holographic,

messages worthwhile but stenographic.

If it's this side you intend to take.

Know you've been lied to about the cake.

 

Arbiters of hexis, hell of a name that,

but to a faction in a war, a name is but a fancy hat.

I like where you're going, not limiting warframes to the armor of a warrior.

Let's face it though, no warframe was built to be a quarrier.

A skin of steel and void, built to protect. Hand armed with void and steel to slay.

These are dangerous, certainly not toy and not simply tool for idle play.

 

Large machines, in twine I can chop,

I'm not tuned to open a coffee shop.

Tenno do not possess social skills, we don't even talk!

We content ourselves with our kills and off we walk.

 

What, you want to make us stronger?

Remove our bonds, make us live and kill longer?

Are you kidding? We're already overpowered,

anything daring to stand in our way gets devoured.

A well trained tenno, almost anything they can annihilate,

and the sanctity of life we have a tendency to violate.

Simply standing in a room we can reduce the population by ten,

none who are wise stand up or challenge us, nor women nor men.

 

Please don't misunderstand,

your idea is grand.

I want power, I seek it always, it's all I do.

But if you think you can elevate me with ideals, your mind is askew.

I will grow stronger, and stronger, and I appreciate you consideration,

however until you can prove a little more reasoned, I doubt it'll by your causation.

Don't try and set objective truth where there is none.

That bit is old, boring and overdone.

 

You make me laugh, declaring yourself dogmatic.

Many, to such confidence show themselves ecstatic.

Personally I'm amused, if not phlegmatic.

Big words, seemingly impressive ideas, just admit:

You know it's true, I can tell, you're full of it.

 

I am proud to see, that out there are still those,

who train and refine themselves, to the fine point of the most delicate rose.

Nonetheless, in your search for absolute truth you are conceded!

No matter the situation, no matter the place, relativity is always needed.

 

Show me you can do it, show me you mean your decree.

After you show you mean what you say, maybe, we can agree.

But you're still not there Arbiters, for this, you cannot be dogmatic.

You must let go your pretension, focus on you ability, be pragmatic.

 

Merchants fighting a war, hun? That's cool.

I'd like to remind you I am a pure killing tool.

I'm all for an elegant conclusion of this conflict,

but the rules of war are strict.

You're mistaken if you think the enemy you can squish,

simply by raising the price of jellyfish.

 

I take on the stalker, hek, krill and vor, the greatest of boasters,

you sell, paint cans, laundry detergent and toasters.

You can buy the best weapons, have the nicest ships,

put all on your side, except conflict doesn't follow the scripts.

You fail to see even, that most tenno are millionaires,

and that never helps. I don't mean to point it out but get a clue squares!

Money and objects won't get us all that far,

not in this blood shed, not in this war.

 

Your tech I might be interested in,

maybe if you could make a decent side arm that could win.

Or may be if you'd cater to my wilder fling?

Think you can make Zanuka blueprints a thing?

 

You misunderstand, I'm not cruel, I know how they're constructed.

I'm doing this with reason, the reason is so many were abducted.

I'm just trying to get my friends back that's all, it's no shady affair.

I'm just trying to get my friends back, a little alters, all told, worse for wear.

 

Fine, my ethics are dubious, but that you should have foreseen.

At least I'm not the one selling spaceshamwows and oxiumclean.

You're lent to selling frozen goods with every communication,

while the rest of use deal with a war and nearly face total eradication.

 

“Restore order by bringing prosperity and direction”

Good! Great! Wonderful! I have no objection.

But what means, prey tell, have you calculated in this projection?

You've got the desired result and you've taken care of the defection,

but you're ultimate plan, the means to the end may need some more reflection.

You can't count purely on tenno support, you won't always have our protection.

Are you going to use your financial power for an insurrection?

Because the grineer and corpus wont relinquish even a section.

And the infested, that’s gonna be fun, don't expect any form of monetary affection.

All thing considered, the problem isn't that you're plan is far from perfection.

It's that you haven't got a plan to begin with, that is where you require correction.

 

 

You may be the Burce Waynes of space,

Rich and noble, over looking the fight with grace.

But for all the money, the fame, success and the tact,

remember, his toughest threats where a chick in spandex and a bad stand-up act.

 

Dear steel meridian, don't think I've forgotten you.

Here's what I think, I think you're a lot like bamboo:

You're stronger than you look, hard to kill and when you attack, you send the enemy reeling.

You're inconspicuous, yet impressive. And I'll admit, your lady is more than a little appealing.

Still, remember bamboo is just tall grass.

We'll see if you can compete with top brass.

 

Grineer's defection looks like it took some guts,

but to play on our stage, you'll need to be more than just not a klutz.

If you were with the grineer than you've seen it before.

A ship after a tenno passes through, bodies littering by the crore.

I'm not trying to intimidate you or boast.

You must admit though, we're stronger than most.

And to help us, you must be able to match up,

you won't be much help if your just playing catch-up.

You and your organization seem quite respectable,

now it's just a question of seeing if you're equally durable.

 

I think gorilla warframe is very impressive,

keeping the enemy at bay with tactical assaults always successive.

It's not something I need though, I can be more aggressive,

doted with the strength of a warframe, sometimes excessive.

 

You seem like decent folks, trying to help the weak.

And if you've got the dough, I've got the physique.

What's with the face? Never heard of team greed?

It isn't cheap to get us to accede.

I'm sure some will help out, trying to do the right thing.

But tenno, we're loot mongers, reward is king.

 

I suppose that isn't much of a problem anymore

Now that your offerings have unfurled.

Especially considering the vaykor,

the most powerful hand gun in the world.

 

I'll admit, to get around to this I've taken my time.

And you've made my job real hard, your every facet is sublime.

While hard to make fun of, a submarine lime is not perfect.

Your naive, childish, there's so much you neglect.

 

Huddled in you HQ, donning hoods and guns,

all estranged grineer daughters and sons,

with your grineer computers and your search lights.

To me you're still a merry little gang of white knights.

 

You want to be saviors and protect?

Yet do so, others will be hurt in a violence abject.

Like dude, in war, that's like, a kind of law,

nobility is like, pointless brah.

 

All-in-all, despite my best efforts, I could hardly put you to shame,

which says something, since that's sort of my claim to fame:

You're a magnificent, wartime taffeta!

Now where is my vaykore grakata?

 

Steel meridian coming soon........it's coming. It's here! It's all here!

[Cleesus]

Heh pretty good man I hope you make more

[ra9una]

Thanks, I certainly appreciate it,

but there are still some things I omit.

Regardless, I do it because I love to write,

the little imperfection are hardly going to make me contrite.

 

It seems that to rhyme I'm some what committed,

a roll for which I'm nor removed nor fitted.

I'll do my best to make my posts entertaining,

but I make no promises, it may prove too draining.

 

I must admit the other syndicates have got me in a bind,

there harder to make comical, no mater how I bend my mind.

But they each remain a fun little essay, 

and I should be able to offer one more later today.

[zergla]

How the hell do manage to do that?!

[ra9una]

Haha, it's indeed not easy,

especially when I try to not make it cheesy.

Sometime I try and fail,

and sometimes I write to no avail.

 

But that's all part of the job description!

Effort and perseverance are the only prescription.

And though I may rack my brain,

struggle and endure great pain.

 

It isn't always just scary, hard and stressful.

It's even quite rewarding, when you write something successful.

And with these fun little bits, if I can make even one person smile,

then it'll make all the effort and struggles feel worthwhile.

 

You ask how the hell do I manage?

Well, my love for writing is my only advantage.

In the end, it's just another art.

I improved the more I practice and take part.

 

I'll admit, even to this day I find it hard.

The challenges have left me bruised battered and scared.

But as they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

and believe it or not, when finish a text, I wish I could have written a little longer.

 

When you do the things you love,

they become easy.......sort of.

For your comment and your time, I'd like to thank you once again.

And also for somehow putting up with particular brand of insane.

 

On a secondary note,

look what else I wrote:

Suda fans might not like it very much,

and it's a bit long, though just a touch.

 

Though I suspect some will shun,

for though who read it promises to be fun:

 

Knowledge is power, that's what they say,

and I promise you, that isn't idle cliché.

Yet, you may be a genius, Suda, you may be very smart,

but so am I, more so even. In a league entirely apart.

[N-14]

Requesting Perrin Sequence rap. I need one for my propaganda thread. *have my kubrow*

[OkamiMilo]

Arbiters of hexis!!!

[ra9una]

Requesting Perrin Sequence rap. I need one for my propaganda thread. *have my kubrow*

Hm, propaganda, I guess I'll give it a try.

I'm just the artisan, these thoughts I don't approve nor decry.

Sorry it's not gonna be a recorded rap,

but for that I think there's an app.

 

Welcome to the sequence tenno, have a MOA to ride.

Careful, just because we are merchants don't think we're snide,

inexperienced and uninformed about elements of the fight.

Brilliance, studiousness and innovation these are the qualities of which I indite.

 

The Cephalon may make claims, of ultimate knowledge, with which we can't compete,

but theory must meet application, we acknowledge. This is where Suda takes the backseat.

The New Loka are driven, but unreasonable,

we're realistic, with our goals great, but feasible.

The meridian is strong, we can reconsign, but they're fighting a loosing battle.

No strength will help if you simply step in line so be slaughtered like cattle.

The red veil want all evil destroyed,

but they lack the direction that must be employed.

The arbiters reject your warrior mythology,

we are capable of best utilizing your deadly morphology.

 

Tenno, don't be detracted by the words of others,

be careful, analyze your druthers,

and I'm certain you'll see fit to come join your sisters, your brothers.

 

In our ranks, it is all too easy to amass an intimidating wealth.

And with our technology, money can buy good health.

Lend us your prouesse, lend us your stealth:

Join the perrin sequence, make a prosperous choice,

in our unmatched, invaluable backing you can rejoice.

 

Through wealth and direction, prosperity.

Trough prosperity, order and clarity.

 

If this doesn't tickle your fancy,

I've still got the satire coming,

though in a propaganda thread that might be chancy,

you might find the humor unbecoming.

 

 

Arbiters of hexis!!!

 

Don't you worry, the Arbiters are on my list.

but it still needs a little work, I insist.

I'm not lying, I'm not sordid,

your patience will be properly rewarded.

[ra9una]

Arbiters of hexis!!!

Ask, and you shall receive!

And as some, Steve,

to name one. Slave away.

The tension of U15, with these texts I will delay.

 

Arbiters of hexis, hell of a name that,

but to a faction in a war, a name is but a fancy hat.

I like where you're going, not limiting warframes to the armor of a warrior.

Let's face it though, no warframe was built to be a quarrier.

A skin of steel and void, built to protect. Hand armed with void and steel to slay.

These are dangerous, certainly not toy and not simply tool for idle play.

 

Large machines, in twine I can chop,

I'm not tuned to open a coffee shop.

Tenno do not possess social skills, we don't even talk!

We content ourselves with our kills and off we walk.

 

What, you want to make us stronger?

Remove our bonds, make us live and kill longer?

Are you kidding? We're already overpowered,

anything daring to stand in our way gets devoured.

A well trained tenno, almost anything they can annihilate,

and the sanctity of life we have a tendency to violate.

Simply standing in a room we can reduce the population by ten,

none who are wise stand up or challenge us, nor women nor men.

 

Please don't misunderstand,

your idea is grand.

I want power, I seek it always, it's all I do.

But if you think you can elevate me with ideals, your mind is askew.

I will grow stronger, and stronger, and I appreciate you consideration,

however until you can prove a little more reasoned, I doubt it'll by your causation.

Don't try and set objective truth where there is none.

That bit is old, boring and overdone.

 

You make me laugh, declaring yourself dogmatic.

Many, to such confidence show themselves ecstatic.

Personally I'm amused, if not phlegmatic.

Big words, seemingly impressive ideas, just admit:

You know it's true, I can tell, you're full of it.

 

I am proud to see, that out there are still those,

who train and refine themselves, to the fine point of the most delicate rose.

Nonetheless, in your search for absolute truth you are conceded!

No matter the situation, no matter the place, relativity is always needed.

 

Show me you can do it, show me you mean your decree.

After you show you mean what you say, maybe, we can agree.

But you're still not there Arbiters, for this, you cannot be dogmatic.

You must let go your pretension, focus on you ability, be pragmatic.

Oh my! All the leaders have been given faces, 

of various genders, looks and races.

What do you all think of these leader aesthetics?

Will they affect for whom you preform your deadly athletics?

 

The meridian lady seems to have a tight grip.

She's slightly worn, a bit of a cleft lip.

You may say I'm unorthodox, in the ladies I repute.

Still, I honestly find her quite cute.

 

Man that Red veil is B-brass!

Red and black for that cool stalker class.

Looks slick, mean and clean.

Kind of unseemly for a killing machine.

 

Perrin got they're thing going on! With the neat tattoo,

the built in webcam and that sweet, classy corpus blue.

Though I wouldn't want you backing me in a fight.

Maybe in the stock market, no hard feelings right?

 

New loka got some traditional beauty going, few will refute.

A delicate complexion, womanly traits--Hey wait a minute...

Hey! No! Lotus, you though you could fool me with the cosplay?

Stop slacking, get back to work! Enough with the roleplay!

 

Hey Suda you're very........blue and transparent,

I like it, but you'll admit the charm is errant.

Forget the others criticism, no matter how trenchant,

I've got a thing for A.I.'s, to avoid being too risque we'll call it a penchant.

 

Arbiters, you need no assay,

you're unconditionally classy.

I know you know, you're cleaver, you're astute.

Bringing in all the lady tenno with that tie and that suit.

Bravo! Very impressive, sir.

 

/tips Void hat

[ra9una]

Why thank you, your comment is most appreciated.

As is the hat tip, a gesture far too depreciated.

So my good sir, it is I who thanks you.

The joy of someone appreciating it, nothing can compare to.

 

And while I'm here, I may as well write a few more verses,

before my soul is taken by the procrastination curses.

What should I talk about, limbo, the syndicates? I wonder?

And the steel meridian, of how U15 will tear are servers asunder. 

 

So, what of Limbo, our mage from the void?

Some seriously snazzy looks have been employed.

We don't know much I guess, his identity is still hazy,

but I know one thing, he looks wickedly crazy.

 

I should also apologize for the long delay to the steel meridian.

They're just not easy to make fun of, tough as obsidian. 

And with u15 in the very near, I'm not sure it's coming.

I know, not very professional, hardly becoming.

[Nikodemos]

Even if you have performed this poetry while procrastinating,

The fact of the matter is that I find it quite simply amazing.

I too sometimes indulge myself in the world of poetry and writing,

But it is a profession that I lack in skill and what I make is often unexciting.

 

In fact, at a loss for further quips and rhymes I have found myself after two verses,

Resorting to a dictionary and searching for words to properly convey my urges.

 

Looking forward to seeing more from you I am regardless!

Thank you very much for your touching declaration.

I also commend you on your strophic participation.

Don't feel bad about using a rhyme dictionary, such anxiety is for fools.

I will admit I use one. For the best text, you must use the appropriate tools.

 

I also commend you on writing.

It can be very exciting,

but of all the arts it may just be least inviting.

Still, it's best to do what we love in our time living.

Even if it harsh, hard, scary and always unforgiving.

 

Face the challenge head on, be strong and austere.

If you like it, don't be intimidated, persevere.

You will, some times, write things, your really proud of.

And that's where it becomes clear, why this harsh art you love.

 

 

I look forward to your future threads... 

 

Mind doing a satire of frames? 

 

Yes! Frame satires for sure.

Though when, I can't really ensure.

They may be shorter. With so very many frames to talk about,

it might just take me years where I to go all-out.

 

I think it'll work out.

Give's me less time for my non-sense to spout.

And It may even be more fitting,

since I'll be able to focus on the points most hard hitting. 

 

It'll be good. I think I'll enjoy it. I'm glad you asked.

I'll start working on it once the U15 elation has passed.

Hopefully I can stay creative and fresh throughout,

and not end stale and boring, like a dry trout.

I thank you for your kind words and encouragement,

Reading it makes me think less of my perceived predicament.

Writing fiction I am familiar in, and have indulged extensively,

But rhyming and wordplay, that I can only peform mechanically.

I have to be quite frank here,

Poetry is not a hobby I hold that dear.

Sure, I can come up with rhythmic and witty declarations,

But forgetting these makes it easier on my participation.

Writing stories directly from my heart, serious, witty or emotional, it's what I enjoy and do(if I find the motivation to get any done, that is).

Perhaps I shall leave the strophic words and the masterfully executed jabs at syndicates to you(and carry on dreaming about that riftwalker Limbo in bliss).

It has been fun, I admit, to engage in a fancy coversation like this,

I'm sure none will come here, peer into this conversation and find something to diss.

I too am more partial to prose,

it's the specialization I as well chose.

Here I used this, thinking something smooth and lyrical,

might fit better to the light humor and view so satirical.

 

The magic and amazement of the imagination, could speak of with you for hours, but I digress.

In your adventures of writing, I wish you nothing but luck, happiness and success.

I'll end the here, elegantly, not wishing, for this conversation to diminish the quality.

On the note of one more thank you, for reading, and writing, and enduring my frivolity.

[ukovalian]

steel meridian?

[ra9una]

steel meridian?

 

It's coming. It will happen I swear!

I really do want to do it, I really care.

I've been so distracted, with U15 and other things.

I've neglected my syndicate writings since I got my archwings.

 

As I've said, they're quite hard to make fun of,

and I want it to be good, not just a comical shove.

I'll try and write a a solid first draft today.

If I'm lucky inspiration will strike me in a positive way.

 

If it isn't out in the next few day please don't be upset.

I will write it, no mater the blood tears and sweat.

I'm sorry for making you all wait.

If things go y way, it shouldn't be too late.

[ra9una]

Oh me oh my, I can't believe how long it's taking me to get this out.

...It wouldn't be so long if I worked and just stop messing about

I Honestly feel a little shame.

But I'm the only one to blame.

 

Please please don't be vexed,

I'm working on steel meridian and them frames next.

I don't want to say it will me trademarked soon

though it won't be next moon.

[ra9una]

Finally, after several months, the wait is over!

.........As if this is the only things you've been waiting for, moreover.

The steel meridian satire is finally done!

“Yes!” You shout! “What joy, what fun!”

And then thirty seconds later: “What's next?”

Well you'll be happy to know I've got projects.

 

I'll start with short snippets of similar poems for frames.

Including puns, jokes and all manner of cockamanie claims.

For now, just relax and enjoy.

What I've long delayed, but finally deploy:

 

Dear steel meridian, don't think I've forgotten you.

Here's what I think, I think you're a lot like bamboo:

You're stronger than you look, hard to kill and when you attack, you send the enemy reeling.

You're inconspicuous, yet impressive. And I'll admit, your lady is more than a little appealing.

Still, remember bamboo is just tall grass.

We'll see if you can compete with top brass.

 

Grineer's defection looks like it took some guts,

but to play on our stage, you'll need to be more than just not a klutz.

If you were with the grineer than you've seen it before.

A ship after a tenno passes through, bodies littering by the crore.

I'm not trying to intimidate you or boast.

You must admit though, we're stronger than most.

And to help us, you must be able to match up,

you won't be much help if your just playing catch-up.

You and your organization seem quite respectable,

now it's just a question of seeing if you're equally durable.

 

I think gorilla warframe is very impressive,

keeping the enemy at bay with tactical assaults always successive.

It's not something I need though, I can be more aggressive,

doted with the strength of a warframe, sometimes excessive.

 

You seem like decent folks, trying to help the weak.

And if you've got the dough, I've got the physique.

What's with the face? Never heard of team greed?

It isn't cheap to get us to accede.

I'm sure some will help out, trying to do the right thing.

But tenno, we're loot mongers, reward is king.

 

I suppose that isn't much of a problem anymore

Now that your offerings have unfurled.

Especially considering the vaykor,

the most powerful hand gun in the world.

 

I'll admit, to get around to this I've taken my time.

And you've made my job real hard, your every facet is sublime.

While hard to make fun of, a submarine lime is not perfect.

Your naive, childish, there's so much you neglect.

 

Huddled in you HQ, donning hoods and guns,

all estranged grineer daughters and sons,

with your grineer computers and your search lights.

To me you're still a merry little gang of white knights.

 

You want to be saviors and protect?

Yet do so, others will be hurt in a violence abject.

Like dude, in war, that's like, a kind of law,

nobility is like, pointless brah.

 

All-in-all, despite my best efforts, I could hardly put you to shame,

which says something, since that's sort of my claim to fame:

You're a magnificent, wartime taffeta!

Now where is my vaykore grakata?
