VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

I kneel before my lord,
Wearing my pride
Like torn garments.
He bade me ride forth
And meet his enemies,
To fight and to conquer,
And to return
Showered in glory

I rode forth
Encased in armour,
Astride a mighty beast.
My right hand a sword,
A mighty weapon,
Flaming like a torch held high.
I was ready,
Proud and strong,
Well versed in my arts.

And yet I failed,
How I know not
And left alive
To wear my shame,
A new device on my standard.

Now before my Lord,
My tale at its end,
My despair a gnawing mole.
My Lord stands and bids me sit,
Eat and drink,
Recover lost pride.
Tomorrow is another day.
