Known in the west as Bushido, the honor code by which the Samurai lived, there was no soldiers more loyal Hannibal could wished, Julius Caesar centuries no brave soldiers, Attila no better riders.
With a Samurai at your side not even the devil would dare to harm you.
The edge of his katana is your truth.
Bushidou, the Samurai's way,
would commit death by seppuku
before being tainted with dishonor;
if everybody observed the rules
contained in that say we wouldn't
have had so many wars.
Those that present us with a lie
are giving us a katanakizu,
a wound done with a sword;
if everybody refrained
of telling lies, we will not have
the wounds that never close.
Bushikishitsu, spirit of the samurai
guarding off the lord's attackers
with unfailing courage of steel core;
we all should be invested with the soul
of those worshipping truth, because,
lies will be keep on multiplying even more.
...in their best days, honor was more sought after than wealth. Times have changed.
God is the author of truth, the devil the father of lies...L.W.Laggy
