Disclaimers 'n'
crap: Haihai peeps! This is the part of the Crystal Odes collection
where I write quick poems about people in the Alliance. Of course,
this is mainly focused on characters who already exist, so you should
recognize just about everyone. I don't own any Metal Gear Solid
character and Kayla is my best friend, so she owns herself. Enjoy.
An Ode To Raiden
You are disliked by the world, you shouldn't replace Snake.
But please, world, won't you cut this guy some slack for goodness sake!
I love you and pity you and Kayla thinks you rock,
You're still not as cool as Snake, but you, we will not mock.
Your love is strong with Rosemary, though you have lost your child,
But you still have kids anyway. Now, that is pretty wild. (Looooooooooong story. Let me know if you want me to put it in a fic)
Sure, you're blonde and blue-eyed but you're certainly not gay.
People might think you're a girl when seen from far away.
You were orphaned and trained to kill when you were barely three,
But you accept that now, from your past you do not flee.
You work great with us now and we accept your past.
You love us and formed friendships that, for many years, will last.
Yeah, I know what you're probably thinking: She likes Raiden? Is she freaking nuts? Well, YES, I LIKE RAIDEN…as a CHARACTER, NOT AS A SNAKE SUBSTITUTE. Yeah, Raiden's pretty kick-ass with his sword and everything, but in terms of COOLNESS, he can barely touch Snake. Still, I love the little blonde, blue-eyed bastard. : )
