Okay first off I would like to say that I'm not responsible for literary works, which originated from Spanish, Geometry, and/or Study hall. Those classes bring out the worst in people and have led me to write poetry, yes you heard me, poetry. Poetry is good as long as it isn't mine. This is part one of a trilogy of poems I wrote to explore Kenshin's character.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin; it belongs to Sony, Nobuhiro Watsuki, and whoever else owns it.
Songs of Life Trilogy: Shinta's SongI've always been an outcast
Scorned for my eyes and hair
The day my parents died
I bade the village farewell
They sold me off like livestock
Caring only for their gain
With the slavers I met three true friends
And at the hands of bandits
They were killed the next day
They died to protect me
They instructed me to live
Then I met my master
He gave me an ancient art
He raised me in his own gruff way
I saw him as an arrogant jerk
One day I left his mountain
Bent on changing the world
And with the first blood my blade spilled
Shinta was no more
Well please review and tell me what you thought.
