Samurai in armor stands on a rooftop, overlooking a neon-lit city at night with a glowing orange sky. Japanese text highlights the scene.

He Weeps For Us




There was once lived a man, unlike others in society,

Through wisdom and compassion he gained notoriety,

Refusing greed he rejected all common propriety.


Realizing a vaster picture he did his very best,

Spreading compassion and kindness, he was surely blessed.

A man in the flash, possessing a spirit most powerfully expressed.





He spoke truths many others refused to even hear.

Since the wisdom he spread was humble and sincere.

People prefer selfishness, so they commonly sneered.


And its something our society refuses to even discuss.

But its imperative to mention, if we've got the guts.


Profit above all, this has derailed the natural joys of life.

To live for selfishness and profit, this will only cause eternal strife.

Only those willing to awaken to caring will ever realize this fact.

We are made to help each other, so we may keep our kindness intact.
