Title: My Nemesis
Author: Imzadi-x
Rating: PG-13 for the use of the F word.

Disclaimer: Shinzon belongs to Paramount,
but his heart belongs to me. Paramount also owns
Picard; The Almighty Federation/TNG God.

A/N: Kind of free-verse/my own style of poetry.
Doesn’t rhyme, but each verse has one line more
than the one before. Cool, huh? Anyway, it’s Shinzon’s
thoughts near the end of the movie. Poor Shi… please R&R!

I am an echo

An echo of a legendary man.
The Federation God; Picard.

Picard.
Jean-Luc Picard.
My double, my nemesis.

All I wanted was to belong.
To be part of something.
To be loved.
I was never really loved

I will never really be loved.
Vkruk loves me as a son, I suppose.
But he is a Reman.
I am a human.
Or am I?

I am neither human nor Reman.
Created not by love, but by a desire of power.
Is it a great wonder that I am acting as I am, Jean-Luc?
I was created by power.
I live by power.
I will die by power.

It runs through my veins like blood.
I do not fear death.
Many times I have longed for it.
But not when I’m so close.
So close to accomplishing what
I have worked nearly all my life to do.
They are probably rejoicing.

Rejoicing at my fucked up DNA.
At my early death.
Another gift from my Romulan creators.
But I will not be stopped.
Not by the Romulans.
Not by the mighty Federation.
Not by the Federation God,
My Nemesis: Jean-Luc Picard.
