Just a Little Guy

I am just a little gnat

Living in the tall grasses

I am just a little rat

Scurrying in the big ship

I am just a little guy

Walking in giant shoes

All those mammoth people

Bumble around

Making a big deal

About everything they do

So it means so much more

When those huge people

Topple to the ground

and take down massive civilizations

Where am I

midst this calamity?

I'm just a little dot on the map

Taking in the melodrama

I'm just a little set of eyes

Watching in amusement

I'm just a little guy

Living in this big world

When the dust settles

Lines are drawn

People are subdued

People are emboldened

And everything keeps going

Just the same as before

Different name on top

Different name on bottom

Where am I

during this dynasty shift?

I'm just a little country

Existing between borders

I'm just a little flag

Waving in the storm

I'm just a little guy

Rolling in the spoils

Why does everyone want fame

Glory and Greatness

They are just asking

To be kicked in the teeth

If you want attention

You'll get it plain and clear

A punch in the face

From every available fist

And you wonder why

I like being a little guy

Leave the heavens to the angels

Leave the hells to the demons

Leave the grandeur to the grand

Leave the glory to the glorious

I'd rather be

Just a little ol' me.
