Disclaimer: Naruto isn't mine
A final breath is drawn
Tension in the air is thick
As in an instant the candle of life
Reaches the end of the wick
Women bow their heads
A son looks away
His father lies there dead
While he kept his tears at bay
And then a three year old did tug
On that man's robes so hard
Opening his mouth to wail
About feelings he couldn't discard
The father struck the child
Said, "You've no reason to cry"
The bleeding boy looked at him
Too young to ask why.
From then on out he made no sound
When he was saddened or hurt
Thinking of his grandfather
Buried beneath the dirt
It started with the life of one
Progressing then from there
Until only his brother was left
Their eyes locked in a stare
The ones who had hurt him
Could not live to do so again
And so he kept the one alive
Who wasn't way back then
He said "live with hate"
As he turned and walked away
Leaving his brother then
As he'd been on that day
I ask you to consider now
The reason Uchiha's don't cry
Surely you must realize
There was more than meets the eye
