By Poet
on a sea strand, have you watched empty shells
mercilessly tossed from sea to shore and from shore to sea?
often I shrink and reduce to such a shell,
with jagged and broken edges, colorless and empty
among many castaways, I lie half buried under the sand
waiting for some wave to wash me away.
how tedious is my voyage
shuttling from father to mother and from mother to father
unable to openly confess who weighs more
on the balance of preference
through how many alleys and by ways
I have wandered, questioning my identity!
am I a puffer fish, being toxic the fisher men have discarded?
or a jarring note in a discordant symphony?
I wonder! I often ask myself!
destined to grow in mercurial climes,
planted in arid shallow soil
with the tap root trimmed, branches pruned,
and growth denied,
I, a stunted bonsai!
still I dream to be a towering tree,
that in profusion gives fruits and shade
a midget aspiring to be a Goliath
a hollow reed,
longing at once to be the singer and the song!

At five feet, five and a hundred and ten
The Marines said, “sorry, too small of a man.”
Yet he became greatest of World War men,
The Army’s David to Goliath stands.
An orphan at the early age of sixteen,
Enlisted at nineteen then off to war.
As part of the 15th infantry team,
Lived four hundred days of front-line gore.
Audie earned honors for courage and bravery,
Every medal of valor, his story.
Through the horrors of war so unsavory;
The most decorated soldier in (U.S.) history.
He embodies the greatest generation,
Yet today, we are so bereft.
Are there any of Audie's persuasion
To redeem what valor is left?
Freezing water.
Many hours.
Prayer, hymns, and laughter.
Gray fins begin circling our group.
Day Three There are thirteen of us now.
Twenty-six numb legs stop moving.
Hymn singing stops.
Who will be next? I hold my breath.
Goliath is taken.
Pulled away from the circle.
His girlfriend screams.
Goliath makes no sound. Gives me a sad nod.
I watch in morbid curiousness
As he is pulled under the water hard.
The water fills with vast amount of red liquid.
Frenzied sharks swim in for their taste of the kill.
The rest of us hold our breaths.
The third day of our capsized non-rescue.
The ocean is deep. Eight others had already been taken.
Which is easier – to be taken or to watch those taken?
The sharks swim around us one more time.
We who are left give praise for another hour
Of life, each minute a reminder of how quickly
We are taken. Tears in our eyes. Who will tell our tale?
David is small teenage boy from Israel
A son of Jesse whose king named Saul
He carried a slingshot on his side for protection
Used it for work with a matching pouch of stones
There’s a war between Israel and Philistine
Takes forty days for them to initiate how to begin
David knew about the giant called Goliath
Not afraid to fight him without any mask
He only carried with him his faith to defeat
The mighty giant whom every man is afraid
One day David saw Goliath at the battlefield
Ready to fight, so he closed his eyes and prayed
The giant move forward for a great kill
David reached his bag and used his skills
The stone hit the giant straight in the forehead
He fell face down on the ground and really beg
David took Goliath sword, killed him and cut his head
He did it finally and triumphantly makes the giant dead
I compare this story of faith and bravery to our dear David the poet
With his powerful poems makes us inspired even if we didn't meet yet
Enjoy your long vacation together with your beautiful wife
I know you are happy sharing unforgettable moments in life

My Oldest Brother
There is a story in the Bible about a young man name David who slew a giant name Goliath. My oldest brother was also name David, and he too slew several giants of a different kind. Please allow me to name just a few of the giants that my brother slew.
The name of the first giant was MR. POVERTY, and David slew that giant by being a hard worker. This David who was my oldest brother slew a lot of giants, and I think those who knew him would agree. David slew Mr. POVERTY by taking advantage of every good opportunity that came his way.
The name of the second giant was MR. MAKE US RICH, and he killed that giant by not spending his entire life making other people rich. In stead, he believed in himself and started his own business.
The name of the third giant was MR. RENT RECEIPTS, and he slew this giant by purchasing his own home and other properties. In so doing, he stopped receiving rental receipts and started giving them out to others.
The name of the fourth giant was MR. SELFISHNESS, and he destroyed this giant by helping other family members like myself to better themselves.
The name of the fifth giant was MR. I CAN'T, and he slew this giant by helping me and many others to realize our own success. The jump-start that he gave to others and me enabled us to go as far as our dreams would take us.
The sixth and last giant was name MR. BE LIKE US. My brother David killed this giant, and just like the David in the Bible, he cut his head completely off. This giant wanted everybody to be like him, and David did not try to be like everybody else. He just wanted to be himself and do things his way. I never knew if David had a favorite song, but if I had to guess, it would probably be Frank Sinatra’s song, "I DID IT MY WAY".

In La Crosse we see it's not very pretty; a goliath is towering but Altman is gritty'
The numbers are stacked the way I see, but number One can make your enemies flee
I'd faced the foe five weeks in all, with burning eyes cold sweat did fall; the darkness
Loomed as with ears on fire; I staggered and crawled under covids fire no mask no gloves
For me three cared; If we had known more we might have not so well fared'
Yet this is Dec 2019 the UK was supposed to have no sickness there' yet many signs I
Bore that year; a weight on my back; and delirium dreary wore, depression stalked the walls closed in
My chest near solid, air seemed oh so thin, in my nostrils thick the stench extreme, yet I won through with the
Lord and prayer; a quinine tonic ever there, till the storm within me calmed then I knew
My sight was harmed.' My retina displayed clear dots of light; I thought what type of flu?
And rued
The fight' yet after weeks my sight was improved , I'm healthy now my breath is well'
For 99'6 percent survive that's the fact I know to tell' and that's why I strive; against misinformation
Against the tide' that beats against the free world's will, yet don't despair dilute the swill
James Altman makes a worthy stand, so Rally Rally around the man' no one is right
Before the Lord, yet to serve in adversity we are called'
Feuding mental nemesis appear...
anytime after the bewitching hour
re: stroke of midnight whence this
sudden loss of mental, physical &
spiritual stamina takes a kamikaze
nose dive think crash test dummy.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed
after arising from a deep sleep
where the locomotive
hashtagged and seamlessly engineered
roaring, snorting, and tearing
to go down the lines,
(or actually an artificially
intelligent hunk of steel
a smart train
powered to glide
above the tracks
(called a maglev train,
which short for magnetic levitation
to glide preprogrammed
and zip inches above the tracks)
analogous to a powered iron horse
think a horse with wings
most famously called Pegasus,
a divine winged stallion
in Greek mythology
born from the blood
of the Gorgon Medusa,
he famously got ridden
by the hero Bellerophon
and later serves Zeus
by carrying his thunderbolts.
Analogous to yakety-yak or yackety-yak
the soundcloud issues "whickity-whack"
punctuates the equilibrium
with a syncopated,
yet barely audible rhythmic thwack
as railroad cars
at light speed
whoosh across train track plank
that connects and supports the rails
(called a railroad tie in North America)
or a railway sleeper
(in the UK, Australia, and Canada)
a bang for the bucking bronco doth pack
a surge of electrical boost to ensure
reminding one of the nursery rhyme
starting out as this old man,
he plays (fill in the blank
with the number
of your choice) knick knack
paddy whack give your dog a bone
and then synchronized
with the word syllabification
hinting phonetically
at what the ear
hears as be-yo any
(b-o-n-e)
which above stated
structures of silence
soundlessly bedeviled,
disrupted, and fostered
within the mindscape as ENIAC
(Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer)
functioned by routing
high-speed electrical pulses
through thousands of vacuum tubes
and switches to perform calculations
vigilantly sustained -
now imagine whereat little
spongebob square pants
hustling hither and yon, to and fro
within the noggin
to allow, enable and provide
an uninterrupted flow of processes
instead of using moving mechanical gears,
said Goliath used electronic logic
to count pulses and perform
up to 5,000 additions per seconds -
revolutionizing wartime computing
which scenario caused me
to experience a splitting headache.
The world cheered Ukraine;
They fought an aggressor.
David and Goliath,
An evil oppressor.
They took up their arms
In a right and just cause.
For us, this bears out
2A’s opening clause.
And no, my dear child,
Don’t confuse ‘regulated.’
‘Functioning properly’
Could also be stated.
A free state is one
Where its people are free:
Free from aggression,
And from tyranny.
Sometimes this takes
The shape of Putin,
But sometimes tyranny
Comes from within.
See our founders first saw
Themselves under the crown,
But the king piled injustice,
And things all spiraled down.
They rallied together;
They all took up arms.
They fought for their freedom,
For family, for farms.
Thank God they had rifles
And weapons of war;
They broke free of England,
Were subjects no more.
Uvalde’s a horror;
We must look deep within:
The land of the free
Juxtaposed against sin.
Sin’s a quaint little concept
Most will choose to ignore,
But there’s evil within us
All the way to the core.
The child, widow, orphan
we’re called to protect
Will all die beside us
If 2A is wrecked.
We must put down aggressors
Both lone wolves and the State.
For that’s how the founders
Made America great.
No, I can’t afford aircraft
And I can’t afford tanks,
But I’ve got an AR
And I’m keeping it, thanks.
This was my idea originally
then I mailed the idea to Mad TV.
I didn't write the script.
Mad TV did,
but I first noticed the similarity
and S O B Mad TV
never gave any credit to me,
but what do I care. I still think it's funny.

David Berkowitz was tried and convicted as the Son of Sam killer.
He was your average discarded individual suffering with schizophrenia.
Davey & Goliath was an early morning religious show of claymation
promoting morals of a very religious connotation.
Davey was a boy and Goliath his wise dog and friend.
Both would speak to each other quite often
and the show would generally have the same ending.
Goliath teaching Davey a moral, religious lesson.
David Berkowitz also spoke to a dog too.
The dog supposedly told David Berkowitz what to do,
instructing him when exactly to pull the trigger
and continue the havoc of the 44 caliber killer.
So both spoke to and also listened to a dog
and both were named Dave so then I thought
wouldn't it be an ultimate laugh out loud riot
to combine both stories to clamation titled Son of Goliath.
