Bushido

DATE: Dec 28, 2005   PHOTOGRAPHER: Posh

MALLOREIGH SAYS: “Bushido -- the way of the warrior -- is more than a way of life. It is a way of death. I am samurai. I have no body; I make stoicism my body. I have no eyes; I make the flash of lightning my eyes. I serve my shogun with honour and devote my life to duty.

My wakazashi never leaves my side. My daisho is my only companion in justice, honesty, benevolence and battle. I, the warrior, will bare my soul. I, the samurai, will show my devotion.

I have no laws; I make self-protection my law. I have no strategy; I make the right to kill and the right to restore life my strategy.

Finally, I will prove to you my sincerity in the only way a samurai can -- with honour. With sacrifice.
