Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
4. Izumi Koushiro
Zeroes and Ones.
They were far more simple
than the array of numbers
that made the world.
The world wasn't so simple though.
So straightforward.
There was never going to be a
single equation
to solve it all,
to understand it all…
People, it was people that broke
the rules, the simple two number
algorithms he could easily work
Words, laughter, tears,
it too him a while to get used to them
and he still didn't understand
But in the end, he didn't need to.
Knowledge was power, after all
but power wasn't the be all
and end all
And when it came to the actual fighting
he couldn't just stand in the sidelines and weave
the perfect plan. There wasn't much time to think
When you were in the fray.
Really, the only bit simple about life
was the bit that wasn't lively.
