The tallest man in the world
He fell one day
I watched him go down
I screamed and prayed
I tried to help
But I was pushed away
He was just too tall
He carried too much of himself
The richest man on Earth
He was robbed one day
They took everything of worth
But it was funny
He died trying
And as I watched
His body was picked clean
And no one even knew his name
The coolest guy in the world
He was beaten one day
I watched it all happen
He became ugly and shamed
His friends moved on
And the next one in line
Moved up the chain
And was surrounded by temporary friends
The strongest man on Earth
Was not always
I watched him go
His lessons learned
His soul was strong
And he wasn’t a fake
He wasn’t strong in a physical way
He wasn’t happy all the time
He wasn’t the smartest
But he was patient
He was always listening
One of the few things
I heard him say
He admitted mistakes
He lived his life
And never fell
Never had much to be robbed of
And kept false friends away
The strongest man on Earth
He died yesterday
I watched it all
He was betrayed by his body
His heart was worn
And his muscles were weak
I thought to myself
After the procession made way
The dirt was above him
And the cold in his fingers
Was there to stay
What did he accomplish?
The strongest man in the world
Just went away
Like the weak have died
He is gone
The strongest man on Earth wasn’t here today
I cried a tear
A lesson learned from memories
Is always here to stay
Opinions wanted. What you guys think?
**Edit- I changed a couple lines around after writing the guitar and drums for this song, now it flows with the rhythm I have better**
