THE RULER OF THE WORLD OCEAN

 

My dad was killed by those filthy tribes,

My family was shunned by our own.

At the age of merely nine, I faced such hardships

Of which many were unknown.

We somehow stayed together, starving with little food

Then came the shivering winters, and nothing went good.

On top of that my own brothers,

Began fighting for the common meal

And despite warning them of the consequences bad,

They didn't budge from their deal.

To save little what we got and to stay alive in life,

I raised the cursed bow that day

I had to shoot my own brother dead,

And believe me how much it dismayed.

However, as the summer came and we had some more nomads, 

We tried to revive some statuses we had lost

And shun the world and live an isolated life, 

To preserve peace and safety at all costs.

I married my love, Borte, the queen of beauty

The prettiest in the Mongolian lands

And I dreamed of a noble happy life

And walk the way, hand in hand.

But my life had some other plans, something that changed

The course of the history of my land

And made more fierce than fierce can describe

A rhe ruler of the Asian grand.

My rival tribes kidnapped Borte and tortured unexplained

And burnt my peaceful abode.

But every act of cruelty and insult inflicted

Is paid handsomely by Mongols.

I met with Jamukha, my blood brother, my pal

And with his sources made an army strong

To thunder one night on the camps of my enemies

And snatch my right from the hands wrong.

My first victory, my first outshine had opened the eyes of all

And day by day other tribes joined us and made our banner stand tall

But as rightly said, two swords can't fit in a scabbard

I saw the betrayal in Jamukha's eyes

Gradually he broke all the blood-brother bonds

His promises shattered like flies. 

But the lion has eaten the flesh of a man

And now there was no turning back

I raised the twig and made them the brick

Trained and tasked to attack.

Jamukha tested my newly built wall and suffered a severe loss

And had no way but to surrender to me and accept me as the boss.

Men after men, arrow by arrow, I raised the toughest army

And took the charge of restoring the pride, that was harmed by the Chinese.

Fields after field, camps after camps, our power grew so strong

That I could hear the Emperor shiver, by the name of the Khan.

And for six months then, I looted and plundered

And barbarically took the revenge

And left the corpses and wives of the deceased,

For my hawks and my men to scavenge. 

But one thing is for sure I can claim and prove, 

I never fought for gold and money

I was the first to start the trades to west

To bring terms of harmony.

But those dumbass Persians dishonored a Mongol

And sent back the cut head of  my messenger

My intentions so white had now caught stains of blood

And there I stood as the avenger.

I infiltrated the West, I shattered Baghdad, slain them without mercy

So much we struggled and fought in our life, that blood stinks from my jersey.

I left my men to advance far west, and Berlin and Kyiv fell down

Back in Mongolia, I came back home and wanted to govern the town.

I called for the learned, the Aravats, and the kingsmen

To set up a court of the Lords

And show the world that I was good for the good, 

For the bad, I was the Wrath of God.

But unfortunately, luck never let me settle and do something for good

My life ended one day as I rode back and signalled the reign of the new.

But no one to date knows where I rest 

In the vast pasture lands of the braves

But my legends and genetics have proven me too far

That other Khans couldn't do with their best.

To wipe the tears on the face of my mother

To avenge the death of my dad,

I went to an extent no one can dream of

Not even the baddest of the bad.

In life whenever I fought, it was revenge, not a war

A revenge, that every insulted deserves

To protect the dignity of their motherland

And save it for the future with regards.

And thus ruler of the greatest landmass, the incarnate of the devil on crooks

I got my name as GENGIZ KHAN, "The ruler of the world ocean", so true.
