When we were small and young
and fragile
And giants ruled our world
We lived in awe
and fear
of these looming beings
These all knowing Gods
Our Father who art
Adults
Looming large against the sky
in heaven
as we, small, insignificant
innocent
turned our primitive minds and eyes
to gaze up at them
their figures emcased in a golden aura
Halos
from the sun beaming down on them
giving praise to
hallowed be they name
acknowledging the omnipotence of
these glorious dark creatures
of light
These dieties
GIANT giants
MAN gods
in all their glory glory glory
hallelujah
In their greatness
Their power
Thy kingdom come
They lorded over us the little creatures
Thy will be done
forever and ever and ever
amen
Their word like the commandments
On earth as it was
Straight from the heavens
their voices booming like God
GOD
from the highest mountain
Thunderous
Absolute
They were the giants
The monsters in the night
in our closet under the bed
The things we feared obeyed
cowering genuflection
Worshipped
Suffer the little children to come unto me
Until it was our turn
to loom big against the sun
to be the giants
but somehow
some way
forgive me my trespasses
at least for me
Should I forgive those who trespassed
against me?
the magic was gone.
