Giant Lies

the giant bullies all
hidden behind the caring smile
stand beside me, he says
friends to the end

others follow not
the mask falls away
fight the giant, one cries
a small crowd gathers

why, the giant says
I am the good guy
what have I done
he begs for mercy

you stole my food
you took my friends
I have nothing
thief, you have no honor

the giant moans
pity me he cries
what is best for all
that is all I want

will none fight the giant
who is for the small
I care, says the giant
I'll protect you

the crowd moans
slaves to the giant
nothing more
trapped in his lies
