Nippon Warriors Echo

Japan warns Korea it will attack
If Korea targets Japan again
With its new nuclear weapons on track
To be deployed towards their sad fates friend

Tortured by the Nippon for many years
Koreans have dark memories from life
When the Japanese excessed beyond fears
Raping and tormenting during war's strife

Where did missile technology come from
That Korea used for accuracy
Which of our friends made a quiet sum
Selling secrets thru cash flow heresy

Creating the chance that Japan views askance
They may be vaporized just one more time
Such thoughts haunt the new Nippon circumstance
Sadness will still fill their poetic rhyme

Samurai sensibilities still creak
Beneath thin layered peace of six decades
So stark a view of death's will may still wreak
In lesions torn deep by mood that disuades

Old Nippon soldier spirits from the past
From lunging into the future of war
Exchanging chaos with Korea's fast
Standing dangerous at Japan's door
