The Survivor


First came the stalwarts
each landing with a mighty din
and when the great splash was over
sneakily and muted, he came in.

He was a tiny one
lost among the big guns,
never had any fighting chance
but was filled with bravado and romance.

He was a party pooper
eclipsed by a giant whooper,
had no place in that crowd
but of himself, he was proud.

So when it was the moment
‘flush’ and in came the torrent.
It obliterated everything in its path
and all the mighty bore its wrath.

When everything disappeared,
tearing the settled waters, the tiny one reappeared -
to claim his place in history, bit by bit
for he, my friend, was puny little piece of shit.
(Literally)
