O the Once Great

It' s been quite a while 
A long while 
A vision once fought for 
Now folded up 
And buried in the ashes 

Dreams of fathers 
Shattered by the selfsame 
While children lie in wait 
To kill hopes of a remedy 
Absorbing the pleasures of calamity 

Bestowed with green 
By the supreme creator 
The Giant did nought but watch 
As his fields were cultivated 
By those of another land

Gathering the harvest of his field 
He ate of its fruit,
Replenishing, a far thought 
As he filled himself with ecstasies.
The field, losing its haecceity 

Thick black smoke clawed towards the sky
From the Giant's once green field; 
Consumed by the fiery cold fire. 
God stared upon the giant 
Rain, a far thought.
