Ode to One Piece
O artistic genius of incomparable amazingness!
Your tales of aphoristic wisdom, of unconquerable hope, of dreams come alive
Quench my burning thirst, my ravenous hunger, my desire to devour works of brilliance.
Without the wondrous people who reside within your gilded pages, I could not survive
Another minute of deplorably bland faux "art"
That build façades of profundity in order to mask their true superficiality.
O if only I could sail the seas with you,
We nakama would never leave each other, never be apart.
Can you not imagine the sheer exhilaration and utter tranquility
Of endless adventures and idyllic voyages, that arise with each day born anew?
