..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?
