Monster

 The Monster

Laijon Liu 20231021


His huge pair of T-Rex eyes, bloodshot

have seen the tribulation of the past world

his dying heart somehow miraculously beating

feels the earthquake and the aftershock

mind wanders in his tiny city gardens

now long gone, to be remembered forever

he was just a child, should be everyone's favorite

but they resented his face and his bear hug

they named him the ugly and the fearsome

threw scraps & rocks at him, and shouted

his giant clumsy claws, wimpy to fend off

yet he never growled, and even can't do it now

A shadowy figure lingers in the city ruins

it's waiting for me to come back home
