The giant amphibious prehistoric reptilian.
That emerged so discreetly from the Sea of Japan
Breathing fire like a furnace, killing civilians
With only wild theories of how it’s life began
Just like a lizard all green and scaled
Walking upright on his massive hind feet
Swinging an enormous and destructive tail
Reeking sure death on all that he meets
No army or force could slow him down
Snatching planes from the air with his short arms
His power and strength became quickly renown
Leveling cities and towns and even some farms
When he was done he returned to the sea
In assumed hibernation, till he emerges again
Atomic radiation blamed for his coming to be
Sure to return, just a matter of when

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
