The Ninja Way
The elements bend to our will
We masters of the silent kill
The art of just remaining still
Is the way the ninja hunts.
Turning, twisting like a swallow
Through the water, deep and shallow
In the woodland, lush or fallow
Is the way the ninja runs.
A noiseless shadow in the night
Invisible in daytime light
Unseen within enemy sight
Is the way the ninja hides.
A glance, a slash of tempered steel
A hit, yet pain we do not feel
A flash; our foes’ grim fates they seal
The way the ninja fights.
Cold, resolute, emotionless
Jade glare turning foes defenseless
Final blow not stayed, relentless
Is the way the ninja slays.
Wary, cautious, never resting
Alert, waiting, always testing
Tensely silent, eyes still questing
Is the way the ninja sleeps.
Wisely, striking after thought
So the war will be won when fought
Cunning, we will never be caught
Is the way the ninja thinks.
We know when to run from a fight
We never will abuse our might
The loyal, we protect the right
This is the ninja way.

Description:
This was written over several days. It's my take on what a ninja is like.
Ninja have to control their every move and emotion, for it is vital for their way of life. Physically unparalleled, they live by their standards. They never give or take more than they need.
Every action has a purpose.
That is their ninja way.

I'm a ninja fan myself, so I think you pretty much got it down. You could've said what the ninja eats, you know! ^^
That would've really been something! ^^V ^^V ^^V PEACE MAN! - Report As Spam
