Becoming Ronin
Raised to believe many things
One which a guy from up high
Comes flying out that sky that we all see
It had to be literally
Did i believe it?
Without a doubt i did,
Because the one who trained me
told me nothing was hid
I grew and trained and meditated on this as a kid
Was lead to believe this era was far from kingdom come
How far from the truth was this.
Now it beats on me like a drum
The day i became self aware i was delivered from the dragons liar
Enraged he was that i began growing out my hair
Becoming his end, a vicious truth with a cold stare
Freshly crafted nunchucks marked by sevens
3 days later
I can only tell you an angel put it there
Truth is ....it is true
but my trainer missed the vitual tools
Parables connect us from what we do
Poetry and emotion are not apart
And we are not damn robots
I chose it just as it chose me
But....it answered my question to an extreme
I was the only one in this existence
that can deem myself eternally
My other self sealed this deal
By blood sweat and tears did he feel
Seems tho that hasnt changed as the end is near
But maybe this time...
I feel i need someone else to help me see
I dont know why but its what has always driven me
To put an end to your enemy is to see as they see
And at the end....choose whats truly honorably
And so to my blood family
I become ronin
Because i am me
To Rise, conquer,
and in truth ...find honor
Until the end of my journey sets me free
