One Little Victory

“…the greatest act can be one little victory…”

Remember, Remember the Fifth of November

Posted by Rick on November 5, 2008

I was planning to later offer up some homage to the Fifth of November, as it is one of my favorite days, thanks to the movie V for Vendetta and the story of Guy Fawkes. And given the events of last night, something special is merited today.

But then something wonderful happened… someone named Tyler (still trying to get the last name) offered this verse in honor of the day, and the events. I am extremely grateful.

If you have seen the movie, you know the verse:

Remember, remember, the fifth of November
The Gunpowder Treason and plot
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot…

Here is Tyler’s wonderful addition:

Now this day is the 5th of november,
and look at what we have got.
for this day we will always remember,
the change for america was fought.
on this 5th of november in 2008,
the white house is no longer set to one race.
obama is in and bush is out,
so everyone gather and give a big shout,
because on this 5th of november
we will always remember,
that change is forever.

Perhaps it’s just because I am still extremely emotional over last night, but this is stirring to me, and I wanted to share it with others. Thank you, Tyler.
