A
giant is a man or a woman
Who’s
grown most incredibly tall.
Their
shadows can make heroes quiver,
And
cowards just break down and bawl.
Yet
height never made them that fearsome.
Strength
didn’t make them that bad.
It’s
just that they can’t always see us
And
they think our size awfully sad.
A
matter of pure perspective,
A
matter of this and that.
A
giant doesn’t think we’re important.
Can’t
be helped, it’s merely a fact.
A
giant can kill without thinking,
Just
like we do with spiders and bugs,
A
nuisance that has to be dealt with,
It
doesn’t make giants, or us, thugs.
But
what can we do to protect us?
Do
we stand up and fight, or just hide?
Ants
can do nothing to stop us.
Ask
all of the ones who have died.
A
matter of who’s the biggest,
A
matter of might makes right.
A
giants demands all the sunshine
While
the rest of us share the light
A
giant doesn’t hear what we’re saying.
We
don’t make the right sort of sound.
We’re
all going have to grow up some
Or
move permanently underground.
Our
brains of course hold the answers.
A
giant lives in every one.
Each
mind has the perfect solution
About
giants and what’s to be done.
A
matter of joining together,
A
matter of increasing in size.
A
giant may still get to be friendly,
Or
at least start to compromise
A
giant, and we, all have our children,
Someone
to love and protect.
There’s
a way of joining together,
Based
on love in some way, I suspect.
So
how do we start all that loving,
While
the giants aren’t even aware?
We’ll
grow our hearts till we touch them
And
make every single giant care.
A
matter of focus and practise,
A
matter of cutting through lies,
A
matter of seeing life’s special,
And
has nothing to do with size.
