Harakiri

Iron clad austere absolutes definitively guiding a warrior's code, effectively upheld with rigid distinction from age to age and epoch to epoch.

Yet as the hardcore cookie crumbles and less severe ways of life embolden, manifold exceptions to stilted structures playfully contend with mischievous endurance. 

A family on the brink of starvation desperately sells off all their belongings, impoverished samurai obtusely set free after their loyal master was dismissed.

An honourable man refusing the distinction of seeing his daughter linked to a chieftain, contradictorily preferring to see her wed to an old friend's son as broke as he. 

Happiness enlightens for a while as innocent love convivially manifests, and the family makes ends meet while wholeheartedly enjoying each other's company. 

Until one day the child becomes sick and there's no money to buy him medicine.

The son-in-law thinking he may find some at the palace. 

If he pretends he's willing to kill himself. 

When it becomes apparent that they expect him to do it, he asks for a few days clemency, after which he states he'll return and freely fulfill his heartfelt promise.

They refuse and don't inquire into the nature of his request.

Deciding not to be regarded.

As a refuge for the damned.

Had the young samurai explained his plight the governing administrator may have been merciful, but the thought of being industriously retained produces too much longing to be disregarded.

The obstinate nature of the leader his obdurate refusal to grant his wish, firmly demonstrates the concrete candour which eventually deprives many of their lives.

Do the compassionate and merciful not ethereally ensure the cultivation of communal life (Los Angeles and San Diego)!

Rather than blunt destructive agency (Republican idiocy starring Trump)?

Through novel artistic intricate synergies.

Who thought the peaceful gains of 30 years ago were something to be foolishly disdained?

What a difference to see a world like this.

Trump's Christian supporters must know he's an apostate of hell.
