The Gentle GiantA Poem by WyattUsually a mellow man, willing to just sit He takes the tortures they inflict. He could hurt them, even kill them Strength coursed through his frame, all six’ two” His chubby build, they don’t see past How could he fight, at just shy of three hundred pounds? They don’t see the thick fuse, protruding from his soul A wet wick, rarely lit, but could blow a hole in a pit He takes it all, if for him meant, the curses flung Yet when they insult her, the fuse of anger, A red hot anger, it ignites They say a little thing, nothing at which to worry They expect the same empty laugh and grin Instead, he turns and reacts He picks up them up by the throat And slams them to the ground He pulls back, ready to kill He stops his fist short He sees the fear in their eyes And knows that he has won He glares them in the eye And tells them “NEVER AGAIN” He stands them up, dusts them off And then he walks away. © 2016 Wyatt |
