The Stuffed Suit Plan


"I'm not looking for help"


"You need it though"


"This is dangerous like you saw"


"It's going to be difficult on your own"


Persuveus looked at the moon


"I'm not by myself here.

I've been holding on to them

and their echoes in my ear"


"But revenge is not enough"


Zina wore a white dress

against her ebony skin.


"My anger never rests"


"Let it rest in me

and the peace you brought

to my heart and home

when you started this cause"


"I just need to stop them

Weed them out and destroy.

How can you help that?

What's this great ploy?"


"So long as the world

turns a blind eye

Men like these

shall continue to thrive.


"This is the chance

and an advantage to gain

If we can instill

an awareness of pain."


"That's what I'm doing

when I prowl at night

to give them fear

and set things right"


"Its a temporary thing

and that's all you can do

Instead of destroying the world

we need to give it your view"


"How can the world

see with my eyes

or know all my pain...

My family's demise?"


"Capture the hearts

of the impressionable youth

Teach them respect

and this cause shall bloom


"If you were to rise

as a wise and studious man

who worked hard to instruct

all that you can..."


"But I'm just an animal

truth being told

Truly your plan

has been undersold"


"You stand here yet doubt

the miracle you portray

If you can really win

This is the way!"


"I have no degree

nor even papers of birth.

Hell! I can't even drive

a car on this earth!"


"You need not drive

to go to school.

But when it comes to college

someone needs to help you."


"It all seems laughable

A right funny joke

I'm going to dress up

like a stuffed suit bloke?"


Zina smiled and nodded

and Persuveus paused

She was certainly sincere

and an ally for his cause.


"Alright we'll try it

to see where it goes

But my hunt goes on;

you have to know."


"Indeed, as does mine.

I have my ghosts too

but for now I'm committed

to assisting you."
