cast vicariously as both victim and villain
by the vicissitudes of fate.
This visage, no mere veneer of vanity,
is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished.
However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone
vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to
vanquish these venal and virulent vermin
vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious

vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.
