Shinobi of the Chosuu

A/n- this is a continuation of the first poem, Shinobi of the Shinsengumi. Please read the first one, before reading this one. Do review, if you find fault with it.

---

I left the house to the coward

Its time for my other job

Its now my turn to assassinate

And cause more people to sob

---

I’m supposed to hunt down swordsmen

I know it’s a bad thing to do

But I have no choice

I’ve been taught that way

To help glorify the Choshuu

---

Blood, hate, terror and spite,

I’ve seen them since I was nine

I’ve been killing people in missions

The last kill was a favorite of mine

---

She’s been listening on us for ages

And sending information back

She was their best shinobi

But what I had she lacked

---

I had the hate, the power

She lived on love and hope

She doesn’t deserve to be a shinobi

I wonder if she could cope

---

But what was in the past was in the past

I’ve now got better things to do

As I said, its time to hunt

And I’ll be given more people to pursue

---

Why must I lead this life

You may wonder

Haven’t I already said?

I’m a shinobi of the Chosuu

I want the Shinsengumi dead.

---

The end-

A/n2- there are parts in the poem that are significantly different from the original Shinsengumi and Chosuu shinobi. This is because the set of Shinobi poems, are only loosely based on them. This is just for your information only.
