Hi! This is a poem I had to write for reading class so I wrote on my favorite character from Samurai 7- Heihachi Hayashida
Dedication: no-one really but if I did it would be to all the Heihachi fans out there
Warning: it contains spoilers for the end of the series and episode 25
Disclaimer- well last time I checked I still didn't own Heihachi or Samurai 7 and I am pretty sure I still don't.sadly
A/N-Well it seems my first fanfic is really a poem, oh the irony. In case you didn't know a teruteru bozou is a fair weather doll and it's what hangs off Heihachi's sword. Also I am sorry if it sucked or if you hate it but deal with it.
The burdens I carry,
Are mine alone
I will redeem myself
I think as I stand over the graves of the fallen
Teru blowing in the wind
I am a SAMURAI
I am a woodcutter
A mechanic,
A drifter
A samurai, the third
A smile stretching from ear to ear
I am the cheerful one, generous and happy, but I have my moments
"You don't let traitors live" that's what I said
I guess I would take it back if I could
But I can't because I'm gone
I was a SAMURAI
My sword of obsidian black
Slashes through enemies
I'd much rather eat then fight
Eating rice instead of fighting
I'm better with a pair of chopsticks than with a sword
I am the rice SAMURAI
I was the third to fall, but not the last
I knew I'd die if I pressed that button
But I was hit with the artillery, pinned against the wall with no other choice
So with a "Go!" and one last smile to Katsushiro I pressed it
I died with honor they say, I am a SAMURAI
I knew I'd die
So I threw off my hat and cried "I want to eat rice!"
Trying to put some humor into my last words
Now I watch from the sky my sword, next to three others, sticking up
The teruteru bozou blowing in the wind
I am Heihachi Hayashida and I am still a SAMURAI
