"Everything's so small, I'm Gulliver of Lilliput."

Everything's so small, I'm Gulliver
of Lilliput, so goes the legend;
every once in a while we are giants,
but never, never to the end.  

 


Touch the treetops, the rising clouds,
catch the doves flying free;
the fate of a boat in your hands,
but only in imagery. 


NOTE:. Article inspired by Gulliver's Travels, particularly the first part and most popular of the four - Gulliver of Lilliput, a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and a literary sub-genre.
