NINJAS DON'T FADE AWAY
A farewell to ninja poetry by D.J. Kirkbride
Poignant image by Night Watchman

Ninjas never fade quietly away

Into the calm night.

For the strong, proud, badass ninja, that just

Doesn’t seem alright.

While ninjas are quite silent assassins,

And pass unnoticed,

They ain’t wanna get all feeble and old.

That’s shit, truth be told.

Ninjas live really big, exciting lives,

Though in the shadows.

But they are people with people’s needs, and

Live it up like hos.

Ain’t no way a ninja would fade away

When it’s his last day.

Like Jon Bon Jovi,

Ninjas go down in a blaze of glory.
