Age

They were once as a giant's own
but now they are slim limbs hanging down

They were always a pleasure to be shown.
But now their glory fades and all you see are bones.
I used them several meters to fling
now they can barely lift a pin.

This is the worst I've seen
where powerful steardy and green
has become a tender bean
delicate and restricted like a crime scene.

But what is the cause of this?
Such scary metamorphosis
which takes away my bliss?
All I know is I once was a giant
and now I'm down to an ant.
