The Giant


There was once a man who stood taller than the trees, 

With a smile on his face and a heart full of glee.

With every single footstep it made the ground below shake,

after a while it was more than the grounlings would take.

They grabbed ropes and chains and tied them around 

They used their forces combined to bring the giant down.

The giant cried and scream as he swayed and he shook

They couldn't see but he gave the groundlings all a saddening look.

As he fell like a tree he landed on his side,

with tears streaming down his huge caring eyes.

That was the day of that last giant and the people were overjoyed

But was his death justified just because they were annoyed

A lesson should be learned at the giants expense

That to kill because we can does not make any sense.

As a young guy sometimes i feel like there is a lot of pressure on me. Writing poems helps me ease a lot of my stress. i love to make fictional characters and tell their lives through these poems.
