A poem about the dashing Irishman in the video game, Bioshock.
I trusted you
When I found myself in this godforsaken place
I only wanted to escape
As I saw the blood, and those… those creatures
And the way they ran at me
I would have rather drowned in the ocean
My body claimed by salty waves,
Than at the hands of gruesome genetically morphed monsters
But you were there
Your voice only an Irish accent in my ear
I believed your pain at losing your wife and daughter
I cried for you,
But you were only laughing at me
As I explored this terrible place
You whispered commands to me
When your Irish voice slowly said
“Would You Kindly”
I knew I could not refuse.
How could I refuse the man who had a grip on my heart
Or so I thought
Because you really only had a grip on my mind
Hilarious.
How naive I was
How I thought that you were really the devil may care hero
In a utopia gone bad
Because all my life needed was a hero
And you fit the mold
How wrong I was
I was wrong about my life
A man with a family?
A man whose plane happened to crash in the middle of the ocean?
An innocent man?
Ha, hardly.
A golfclub in my hands
A city destroyed.
Whose fault was it?
The crazed Parasite?
The Ayn Rand based society?
You weren’t who I thought you were
I wasn’t what I thought I was
A man chooses; A slave obeys
I guess we know what I am
With the chains burned onto my wrists
With the words etched onto my brain
“Would you Kindly?”
