My Father Was An Unkown Hero

About my father, I never knew,
How much he would really do,
For a village, he loved so,
And died, not having anyone know.

His secret, he took to his grave.
No one knew how much he really gave.
In the dark, his brother was left.
Without his family, he was bereft.

How hard it must have been,
Not being able to go home again,
Without being viewed as a criminal.
He was thought to have the mind of an animal.

I will never truly understand,
How it felt to have your family by your hand.
But it was not without regret,
The inner turmoil his mind must of met.

His loyalty and love for his village was great though.
He smothered his emotions so they wouldn't show.
He killed his father and his mother.
The only one he couldn't was his brother.

He couldn't bring himself to take his life.
Couldn't have his innocent blood on his knife.
And yet, he couldn't let him know,
Why he actually let him go.

His brother couldn't know of the coup de ta,
That his family was bringing disgrace to the name Uchiha.
So he came up with a plan,
To make his brother a strong man.

And what a plan, he did create.
In payment for love, he took hate,
Knowing his plan would seal his fate.
