The Rise and Fall of the Ronin Boy


By the 12th century the term rōnin began to be used for samurai who, as a result of either losses in battle, the untimely death of their lord, or their own misdeeds, had been dispossessed of their fief and their noble sponsorship. During the tumultuous period before the founding of the Tokugawa shogunate, their numbers increased rapidly; they remained a great cause of disorder throughout the first half of the 17th century. -- Britannica -- Samurai




Ever since I was born.

Artificial power I sought,





A child built a Platoon

Vroom, vroom vroom!

Doom, doom doom!


Recruited, a total, of 50 real men,

A glorious base we established in a video game!


Westcat,

Eijak,

And Bobak!


Malicious gang of Generals,

For the Emperor we always came back!


Yet even that syndicate,

Of 50 men,


The screams of joy were theirs,


I founded decades ago,

The Storm Alpha Squad.


Yet I always wanted to be seen beyond

What you might conclude!


Westcat!

Eijak!

And Bobak!


My empire he crumbled away!


Look how much I did,

And still do,


To lead or to serve,

Anything idle felt,

Like an absurd cat.


Irony ensues given,

I was seen as just that!

Lord Westcat!


Within the same reality.

Mutual understanding,





Westcat,

Eijak!

And Bobak!


What the mind cannot conceive,


Deep inside I am but a wise fool,

And I like to rectify until my doom!
