Fall of the Samurai
By Cody/Beyblader
The samurai were part of a distinguished class,
Wearing two swords as a symbol of their cast.
They prized honour over wealth or life,
And atoned for dishonour by taking their own life.
The 1860's are when it all went down,
All the ports opened up,
The west pouring in without a sound.
That’s when life began to change,
And put an end to the great feudal age.
The shogun resigned, the system gone,
But a glimmer of hope in the sun still shone.
In 1871 they pulled the last straw,
To wear a sword was prohibited by law!
‘78 was the last we saw,
Of the Feudal era’s crumble and fall.
Names were changed of the warrior class,
And the time of the Daimyo came to pass.
Without lords to serve, the Samurai died,
And were seen as outcasts in the peoples eyes.
Where they had once held power, all over the land,
They were now at the mercy of the governments hand.
Refusing to step down from their way of life,
The government was forced to rebel with great strife.
They took up arms and led an attack,
Travelling to villages which they intended to sack.
With new weapons they fought,
And instant victory they sought,
But weak, unarmoured men with no honour or pride,
Were no match for the Samurai’s vicious side.
A massacre occurred, the Samurai victorious,
But not for long as the Japanese rebuilt forces.
The final battle left the Samurai outnumbered.
Their odds of victory were one in a hundred.
But still they fought for honour to the end,
And it was all they could do for the Japanese to defend.
Western weapons were the winners of the war,
Levelling the Samurai in a scene of horror.
That is where their dynasty came to an end,
And the history books are where they were sent. |
Muhaha!
