new sig line

[gunner]

(if it works)

here's the source of my sig line

"ancient and unteachable, abide, abide the trumpets.
clamor o'er ocean of the harsh pursuing trumpets,
trumpets of the vanguard that have sworn
no truce with kings"

[gunner]

now i've lost not only my avatar but everybodies,
wha hoppen?

[Ozymandias]

Gunner, where's that pem from?

[gunner]

i've never been quite able to track it down, i found it at the head of a story by poul anderson titled "no truce with kings" and like kipling's "mcdonough's song" and several other bits of poetry it has stuck in my mind for years since. try this if you like.

"whether the people be led by the lord,
or lured by the loudest throat
whether it be quicker to die by sword,
or cheaper to die by vote.

these are the things we have dealt with once
and they will not rise from their grave.
for holy people, we have lived to learn,
endeth in wholly slave.

holy king, or holy state, or holy people's will,.
have no truck with the senseless thing.
order the guns and kill.

saying... after... me,

'once there was the people,
terror gave it birth.
once there was the people,
and it made a hell of earth.
earth arose and crushed it.

listen, oh ye slain,
once there was the people,
and... it NEVER shall be AGAIN!'"
(rudyard kipling)
