The Small Foot
by Ryan Lobo
You must have heard of the American Bigfoot and of dragons breathing fire, Lets not forget the Himalayan Yeti and the blood-sucking vampire, The world has famous monsters; We know their gory glories, But you haven’t heard of the Small foot, which has disappeared from most stories.
The Small foot is a monster once present everywhere, Often living in forests, now only found elsewhere, Their feet are really tiny and hardly leave a mark, Very easy to lose track off, when everything goes dark.
They have lost a lot of wars and lack a written history, Most of their customs and epic deeds are a forgotten mystery, I’ve seen some survivors, who seem wounded, bruised, and sore, And some species are extinct but no one talks about that, anymore.
Some important things to remember, even more important to tell, All creatures are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them as well, One must examine famous monsters, the ones which pretend and gloat, Because the past really happened, and history is only what someone wrote.
The Small foots will rise one day and become the same as the Bigfoots were, And then they will rewrite things and insist that they were fair, They’ll set up universities to support, prove, and cite it, Remember that history is very kind, but only to those who write it.
We know so little about the past, to say the very least, but one can still hear the songs of all these various beasts, Various tunes, volumes, notes at all extremes, A quiet little orchestra playing in our dreams.
