It's becoming progressively harder to admire any leadership. Might those in power be so removed from honor that it may never return?

Samurai Honor
by Odin Roark
He wandered about
Finding that reason
To commit
To dedicate
To protect
What was it
Where might the purpose be
Why was it important
Who needed such integrity
Thus
Came the spirit of the samurai
Willing to be wounded
Embracing his own spilt blood
Honor prevailing
At any cost
By the river’s edge
He did bleed
Losing life as he knew it
Yet those he protected
Respectfully bowed their heads
Even as they too died
