The Landfall

Upon 1274 AD, 2nd of November
Ships brought warriors over the sea
Servants, sailors and horse men
From across the Mongol Empire
To conquer or to bring order
To subdue a people, resisting
To defeat the defenders
Of the defiant nation of Japan
Warriors of either side all ready
To die, to end up slaughtered
The defense of a land or idea
A people or a leader instead
For to die would brings honor
And to his family even more
But a way to remember
With a form of contentment
Aside from just being dead
