[historian]
part two

she came with a blade from the east
was trained by a warrior priest
had mastered sword-arm and weapon-leg
plus snow leopard techniques
the tiny mantis on the flower
with power unexpected
reflexes swift with a blade to leave you headless
effortless quickness lifted against this old force of savage gravity
cliffside combat
vertical terrain
a strange claim to fame
several heads in a basket hurled at the feet
of the corrupt constable
a vicious gang of thieves she cleaved one after the other
many whispered these fiends had slaughtered her father and mother
orphaned at a young age
she was raised by a sage
who taught her the ways of righteousness
along with the mightiest kung fu styles which
she practiced in the high mountain range
contemplative sent every day to fetch water
this lost daughter sought and found new purpose
and vowed protect the innocent from the dishonest and murderous

but there in that town she encountered strong opposition
for these thieves had protected
a powerful merchants interests
and so the merchant’s invitation was extended
he attempted to hire her as protection
but when his offer of gold failed to flatter her
he sent forth his most notorious henchmen to battle her

but she came with a blade from the east
was trained by a warrior priest
had mastered sword-arm & weapon-leg
plus snow leopard techniques
the tiny mantis on the flower
with power unexpected
reflexes swift with a blade to leave you headless
blood showered from necks split
as wicked snakes writhed
in the forest cat’s death-grip

old bamboo legs chopped to bl–dy splinters
master of striking lizard
failed to dodge an attack, now with a broken back he slithers
ohhh, immortal hawk?
he caught a blinding wheel kick to the mouth
that sent him flying clean out the grimy teahouse
now shut your weak mouth
rumors among bandits
no honor among thieves
so the merchant sent away for a new weapon from the east
some called it a dragon stave
it spit lead with flames
it could splatter any master’s flesh bone and brains
heavy gold in a crate for trade he claimed his mysterious contraption
he set a trap then
framed a young fighter who was new to the town
and known to be talented
knowing she’d arrive to challenge him
a tragic diversionary tactic
her -ss-ssin melted into the crowd
that gathered round
as the hand-to-hand combat began to happen
the greedy man quietly laughing
for he could see it was true
swords required sk!ll
but with this new contraption
any bl–dy coward could pull the trigger and k!ll
and with a puff of smoke
her blood spilled
shot in the back by a merchant
she bled slow
a handful of blossoms wilting there in the snow
a handful of blossoms wilting there in the snow

they said she came with a blade from the east
was trained by a warrior priest
had mastered sword-arm and weapon-leg
plus snow leopard techniques
the tiny mantis on the flower with tactic power and sk!ll
but with this new contraption any bl–dy coward could pull the trigger and k!ll
any bl–dy coward could pull the trigger and k!ll
any bl–dy coward could pull the trigger and k!ll

yo, let’s battle son
i’ll let you try my junglecat technique

internal kung fu
