Hiei and Botan: A quest through their memories

by Halikidito

Hiei and Botan are an odd pair. One was sweet, the other was bitter. Together they combined as a sour drink of lemon that soothed even the greatest of pains. Watch as their minds unfold through each poem that I reap.

22. A Demonic Request

Lively spirit, give me freedom

On this ground, I can't tread

Leave me spirit, find some other helpless

Waste of a person, leave me dead

My strength, my resolve

Fading into the wilderness

My heaven, my hell

Doesn't seem to help me out!

Give me freedom, give me death

Give me torture, as long as I'm not here

Make me insane, give me much pain

As long as I know that I'm not here

For as long as I've lived,

I've been tortured by this life,

Wanting to escape,

What I didn't want in the first place

Give me torture, give me liberty,

Give me everything that will set me free

Don't you know that, it's not working?

If I cannot live here,

Then why won't you be here

Give me freedom, give me death

Give me torture, as long as I'm not here

Make me insane, give me much pain

As long as I know that I'm not here

LIVELY SPIRIT!
