The Giant Wheel — Description
THE WHEEL THAT HAS STOPPED ITS SPIN

There was once a wheel, a small spinning wheel.
He kept spinning and spinning everyday
But he was never satisfied with what he has been doing
He wished to be a giant wheel
the one that could circle the world in one spin

Unfortunately he never thought that he could ever made it
because he thought that he's only a small fragment of the world
A small useless fragment that didn't mean a thing
A small fragment, that wouldnt stop the earth from rotating when he dies
A small fragment of dust that would just be blewn away by the wind

So one day
He stole all of his friends possesions
Their feelings, treasure, and hopes
And assimilated it into his own.....
He did turn into a giant wheel
And he was very proud of it

But he forgot
That he also assimilated their dark sides
Their fear, anger, grief..
hatred, wrath and suffering...

And thus, from that moment
He could never spin anymore
He was left all alone there
Left regretting and thinking about all he had done
Alone, staring at the sky...
