SAMURAI: A Battle

Do battles happen for
Blood
Or
For
Honor?

A battle for two
Is a recipe
Of disaster
For one.

Even the most physical
Of battles
Requires
Mental
Maneuvers.

I only wish
I knew
What to think
Of battle
When something
Sheds
At the end of every,
Single,
One.

Tears
Or blood,
They're all the same:

Shedding.

Time will tell,
But if you dwell
It'll be nothing but
Mystery
For the life to come.

Defending your honor
Is protecting your
Loved,
And
Loves,
And
Lovers.

A samurai
Does not bend
Nor
Break.

A samurai does not test
Or jest.

A samurai is strong.
