Shepard
A brilliant man
is not always a saintly one—
doing what needs done.

Kasumi
The hooded thief smiles,
knowing all and telling nothing—
red rose calling card.

Grunt
A warrior's heart
beats a furious rhythm—
eyes see only red.

Miranda
Perfection from birth
weighs heavily on slender form—
wants only warm words.

Garrus
Sharp eyes and sharp teeth
conceal the damage below.
Like battery acid
slowly eating him alive;
he watches the world burn.
