Forsaking noble eight-fold path
Common folk tread south of dawn
Unbeknownst to what they hath

Steel on Steel
Deep in flesh mired
Yet little seen and undesired

So life goes on
As knight of day
Enshrouding wounds of yesterday

Thus Dao above gods and further upon men
Lost to action, thoughts, and devout zen
Fun Fact: the eight fold path refers to the Dharma Wheel as well as Buddhism in general ^^

This is awesome, I read it and instantly think about samurai 7.
