PUNY GIANTS
Out of the poverty stricken
dells
a charismatic leader
springs.
Amid the ghetto crime and
rot
a ragged urchin sings.
Through plague and pillage
storm and strife
the human spirit thrives
where the mighty dinosaur
succumbed
puny man survives.
We explore the darkest
ocean floor
and soar beyond the sky
to know the what, the
where and how
and to find the reason why
