..David & Goliath..

Do I turn to the side Do I take it in stride Do I lower my eyes And, walk on by??? Some other time Some other life.... Why am I wasting What am I fighting for These hopeless things These hopeless dreams What does it matter What words I say At the end of the day It's always the same Nothing has changed Lying to myself Under some spell To ever believe To even conceive Such a hope Such a Dream.... David and goliath One spot, amid a galaxy How lost could I be To ever perceive Such, a foolish thing As to believe I could ever Walk on by. When I look at their Souls When I look at their lives.... Maybe their right The countless whom doubt That we'll ever make it out Of these clouds??? No matter what I say Things, will always be the same Nothing will ever change Your wasting your time Searching inside A world, that you'll never find.... These fantasies that you seek??? David and goliath Laughing at me These giants These Faithless that I see.... But, maybe their right Do I turn to the side Do I take it in stride Do I lower my eyes And, walk on by??? No! Not today Not in this galaxy Not, in this place.... When I look at their lives Their Souls ~ The entire race Satan be gone Gone with your pain Gone with your lies And your chains For no more doubt Doubts, for some remain??? A spot, in a cloud With a voice very loud.... David and goliath At the end of this day It is your darkness That I Shall slay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ David & goliath ~

It is a fascinating story to begin with and your interpretation just adds to the intrigue and magic of it John.

this is a very different kind of write for you, John that I have read from you. I sense a struggle, a bit of sarcasm and yet, a determination to do the right thing. Goliath is a bully. A bully may look gigantic, unbeatable, but he or she is a coward, clever enough to fool everyone to think he or she is so tough. David doesn't look much, he gets laughed at, but he has the faith of a lion, and a courage no one knows until he is confronted with the bully. Which one appeals more to you?
