*Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.
Samurai
Robe and wide pants
Long red hair pulled
Back loosely
Battle scarred across
His left cheek
Sheathed sticky blood –
Stained sword
"I will fight no more"
His life as a child
Was filled with bloodshed
Women help save him
They lost their lives
Little boy looks up
Teary eyes look down
"You must stay alive,
Kenji. You have nothing to hide"
Up against all odds
Surrounded by angry men
Sword in hand he
Tries to defend himself
A tall man appears
And slays the men
"Kenji is no name
For a warrior in this game"
