Western Ronin
by Antonio Rocco S. (Rocco Valentini)
武士道 勇 Ride alone across the open prairie And let your spurs be caked with mud A testament to the burdens you carry 義 Your duster stained with blood. 名誉 A life without honor brings endless strife As does a death without purpose For chivalry is the poetry of life 忠義 And to your ideals you pledge your service. 仁 Bend like a reed that sways in the wind Yet stand firm like a rock against the tide Strike forward until your enemies rescind 礼 Such is the way of the samurai. 誠) The Western Ronin carries seven virtues and a six shooter.
