I, Protector of Earth

A poetic monologue written in blank verse, from the perspective of Godzilla Earth.

Behold, the planet earth. ‘Tis one among
Many planets inside this galaxy.
One may think that this is just another
Miniscule speck of dust, roaming across
The vast cosmos, with lack of destination.
That bears some truth, it goes around the universe
Aimlessly, and is so infinitesimal
Compared to all the rest. But no, 'tis not
A planet that is insignificant,
Irrelevant, or ev'n merely special.
It holds a special gift, one that cannot
Be found across most of the universe;
That gift is known as life. A beautiful
Phenomenon life is. Across nature,
One may find something, but, ‘tis rare to find
Someone. So much chaos reigns in upon
Reality, that delicate structures
Are swiftly wiped from its encompassing.
But here, such delicate beings can thrive.
The animate, so much distinct from the
Inanimate. It can harbour a myriad
Of different forms, each one so much unique
As the previous. With life, there are beings,
Parts of nature that can witness nature,
And realise that they are a part of
Nature. From nothingness, one does become.
And I am one of life itself. I am.
Before this planet was, I am; I am
The sole protector of this world, who seeks
Only to bring deliverance upon
Itself. I am the chosen saviour,
The one who hath been blessed by this body
With life and consciousness and sentience.
It is the most special to me, for this
Is my own home. This’s where I hast resided in
From my birthing, where I reside during
This time, and where I shalt reside into
The rest of time eternity. I dare
Proclaim that I’m the ruler of this world,
For that is not the case at all. I am a guardian,
Bestowed with great power and intellect
To serve his home for everlasting time.
Today, all life originates from me.
There’re trees, bushes, flowers, grasses, and vines-
A floral world, all made of the blue bark
That also does compose myself. Winged
Dragons roam the landscape, also derived
From the essence that made myself. I am
The most perfect lifeform, and now today,
Life does follow in my footsteps, reaching
Its perfect form, that yields no more extinctions
Or such calamity. It used to be
Far more vibrant before, but those days are
Gone now. ‘Twas one species, mankind, who harmed
The earth, my home, and leeched it off its gifts.
I hath been birthed solely to rid them off
This world, and free the earth of their greedy
Desires. Monsters originated from
The depths of this planet as well, and they
Hath harmed the ecosystems of the world
To horrible degree. Their defilation was
To be averted by my powers, and I
Was very much successful in crushing
Their wrath, mankind and the monsters. After
Their time, different species for sure existed, but,
They could not possibly sustain due to the grim
Destruction caused. I do remember that
One day, whence an asteroid the size of the
Celestial body Luna headed
Onward to this planet. I used the one
Greatest ability I hath been gifted with
By planet earth: th’atomic ray. Toward
The spikes that’re lined upon my back, in three
Distinct rows, th’energy accumulated,
An energy of the same kind that does
Contain the spectrums of ultraviolet,
Gamma radiation, and light. An arc
Of brilliant blue atomic energy
Concentrated into a beam, a beam
Which I believe to be the greatest weapon in
Th’entirety of th’universe. The rock
Was crushed, but the impact destroyed half of
The face of this planet. A compromise
Where the planet could’ve been destroyed instead
In its entirety. And thus, I realised
That day, that life on earth would have to change,
Were it to possibly continue. How
Enraged I was at the depravity
Of humankind for how they hath polluted
Their very own home. But, I’m still grateful
That I could have let life sustain on this
Planet, and don’t take pride in the fact that
I am a being of immense strength and size
And power, or that I could reface a gift
That the cosmos has barely seen. I love
My home, and how it yields me sustenance,
And gave me consciousness t’appreciate
It gifts, and how it gave m’ability
To save it from the evils of this world.

I know that I am not perfect, I can
Be crushed by greater force. But to this day,
I have yielded victorious. I wish
To keep it in this way until the end,
For I only wish for my world to live
Prosperously until the end of time.
If I indeed perished at the hands of
Some greater force, I would rest with such peace
Over the fact that I did not retreat
In my fervour to deliver this planet.

I pledge to be the saviour of planet earth
Until the very end of my lifespan,
And make sure that life on this world lives on
Forever long, with pure serenity.
