GIGANTIC
   [BM]

----
There was once a giant man
He loves tearing houses and
make little people scream as his hobby.
One day, he saw a tiny house made of nothing but woods—
This one sure looks so shabby.

He tore the house so easy but gently.

But what shocked him was—
It was almost empty.
There were no tiny people
Looking at him pleading for mercy.

There was one tiny little body—
No, was it a seed?

As he examined it intently
It was indeed a tiny little body looking like a seed, perhaps an art—
He wasn't sure what exactly.

It was hugging it's tiny knees as its face was covered by its arm— such artisty!
He picked it up almost biting his tongue;
Afraid of squeezing it actually.

Strolling through where his feet desires, with a smile plastered on his face, he looked at what he thought was exquisite and lovely.
His heart was overjoyed— he did not thought it might be deadly.

Something got stuck in his eye,
Thought it was nothing but a fly.

Unaware of his surrounding,
The body he called 'art' snuck up to his other eye and planted the bomb in a blink of an eye.
The giant man stumbled down to his feet screaming loudly.

For tiny people—
It was a music of freedom and victory.

He was mad to believe it was his 'art'
With thousands of needles in his heart;
He whimpers in pain looking at what had stopped him of doing his hobby.

He realized, there was much scarier than just the scream of a giant in agony.

That no matter how tiny of a body it was,
The love he thought he found from it was still gigantic than he.
