I crossed you in a battle
in a distant land ,
in the Rising Sun Country.

I was ordered
in a new Code of Bushido
in a new mission of injustice.
I followed your steps
courageously
with an unconditional willingness.

I heard the lament of my people
whispering with pain
how long will be tormented…..

A Death Fog Veil
covered the human souls
my breath was iced.

A brave fighter
came to me
was the Last Samurai
I have ever seen….

I was dazzled
by his power.
His sword blazed
like a fire,
sharp as a steel.

Master I yelled
show me the way,
to defend my people
to give my life,
if this is written
to my destiny path.

Teach me the Rules.
Teach me the Code of Honor.
To protect the Law.
To respect my Opponents.
Obedience and Discipline
will be my heavy duty.

He embraced me,
with a peerless wisdom
a breezy air,
blew off my lungs
and he told me silently.

The warriors’ road
is long and never ends
Be Brave my Son!
I kept his last words
as a Promise.
