.
i die honourably.
committing hara kiri
erases my disgrace.
only a coward
evades responsibility
for his past actions.
honour demands
I must voluntarily
draw my blade across.
cut from left to right
die slowly in agony
suffer stoically.
.until a good friend
strikes off my head: sets me free
from my misery.
seldom seen today.
but in the past the only way
to correct mistakes.
to die honourably
committing hara kiri.
erases all disgrace
