Monster

Once, there was a monster 
Pretending he was a wonder
No body could reach him
for he was in his ivory tower
full of pride and power

He kept growing 
And growing 
Growing
Till blowing 
Up

They say ‘what goes around comes around’
Yet for this, he had no mind
‘ The world is mine’ he said
He built mines
And mines
For others
The poor kinds

‘Enough’ they said 
‘We are weary’
‘Life is blurry and scary’
‘Nope’ he said 
‘I need to grow’
‘I must blow
up’
