The Underdog
Facing the demon of giants flat-chested
cracked confidence gets stuck and badly crested.
In this battle, there’s no time to be wiser
luck loosen up to be less of a miser.
This contest terrorizes confidence to abscond
pushing the will of a fighter to respond.
Midway victory, still facing strong dismissal
sinner beats saint to be decorated with a dossal.
One step back and the uncertainty of victory stays indefinite
a successful strike and songs of praise become infinite.
Monstrous weight hoist with a local winch
the large eagle pecked to death by a young finch.
Intimidating visitation to Asia by the basque
a retrograde conquer for them to submit to a mosque.
Hectares of land is covered by this rock
but shattered by so many hits from a block.
Abnormal beats expectation to be a scam
the whole ocean becoming sweet from sugar of 1gram.
though on stick’s way stands a strong broom
no matter the difficulty, victory always have a room.
