Light fades, drums serenade
Curtains drawn, swords displayed.
Kin of Daimyo cheer on Samurai
In their artistic display of kung foolery.
Time fades, Meiji Restoration came
Like daybreak, a new Japan made.
The sun rose on neon streets
Where once barefooted monks would meet.
Robi, a robot named
With confidence, a machine tamed.
Unlike a timid adult
Initiates conversation without fault.
A new Japan, another story
Shaped by time and divine glory.
On the Pacific Ring of Fire it once stands
Now endures earthquakes with steady hands.
