Silence

Poetry

Photo by Krys Amon on Unsplash

Many a man I struck down with ease A quick motion polished blade Swift as the wind Cutting, erasing Spilling blood My codex, my honor

The way of the sword And of the warrior Bushido At peace with myself Even in war Calm in my heart Through storms raging

For my lord And my honor Always my honor Taking life after life Until I came to Understanding the weight Of the withered blade Withered honor

As I stand in the ashes Of millions erased Prayer beads dangling My head down in shame As I ask their ghosts Whether honor matters Trembling heart Utter silence
