The victory of the small force

Some would ask how a country so small
Could stand against the empire
With a reach from Korea to the Levant
But it is not impossible to know
Through history nations function well
For the same kind of reasons
With cultures that define themselves
If is chaos dances
Upon the international stage
Some people rebel from the empire
Some never join with others
Some refuse to be subordinate
From the very beginning
The Japanese military leader
The Shogunate
Spoke for the Emperor
And when great empires gather people
Such as did the Mongol empire
They rarely meet such unique nations
Who are willing to die rather than serve
The response against them was focused
The Japanese would prove their worth
Upon fields of battle
And they would test the empire
Who had numbers without count
Using an elite of warriors
And a people who had an anger
Fully awakened
If the Japanese failed
The Shogunate would be seen weak
And be replaced
As a step falsely taken
The action of the Japanese
Would be thought as forsaken
For they were comparatively few
Compared to the Mongol empire
But the Mongols tried twice
And never won
Against the Japanese samurai
The elite led the armies
With compliance of the locals
Defended the land
Until nature would send a reply
And the Divine Wind did come
