Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
40. Mogami Ryouma
He'd walked down the wrong road entirely
even though he'd set his feet upon the right –
It had been a cruel twist of fate that had sent him down
after dropping him in a scene so bright
For he found his dream in that battle scene:
the boy who blazed red
while fighting desperately
But he lost it just as quick
because his strength was not the friend
he had wished, but the lone power
And he fell under its spell so smoothly
he never realised what he did, what he caused
But he knew now what he wanted:
he wanted both: the strength
and the friends to protect
And now he had a reason to look on
instead of mere coincidence.
