He stands before the giant tank,
until it halts,
and then, like a goliath,
climbs aboard,
and to the solider whispers,
peace.

Here's a thought for you to ponder:
Where on earth should a girl wander?
This world is vast
The die is cast
Why worry? Goliath yonder!
Goliath stood up straight and tall
But David knew that he would fall
Goliath was stoned
And everyone groaned
His shoelace tripped him after all!
Listen to poem:
Goliath, a boastful huge giant,
And David, a shepherd and pliant,
So he took a stone,
And crushed his head bone,
Then Israel roared like a lion.
There once was a voice that took flight,
I chased after prepared for a fight,
we fiddled with fickle
and stumbled a little
then scribbled with all of my might.
goliath frog throws his tummy around
rainforest is where he is often found
snapping up shellfish blue
consuming littler frogs too
slurping up insects with nary a sound
There once was a diver called Trish,
Who met an enormous jewfish.
She was dwarfed by its head,
And then, drooling, she said,
‘I’d like to see you on my dish.’
* The goliath grouper is also known as the jewfish
I get up at sun rise daily
Ready for garden work
A hoe on my shoulder
Cutters and rake in my hands
And gum boots in my feet
But with Goliath at the gate
The courtyard I cannot leave
And hunger is my daily bread
Do you find yourself
under those stones that you’ve thrown
Pummeled with self-hatred
forever alone
Looking up in delirium
Goliath parades
Blinding your vision
—a gravesite charade
(Dreamsleep: December, 2022)
David has become Goliath
Goliath has become David
the world is spinning
out of control
nuclear bullets
battle paper butterflies
The indigenous as usual
suffer indignation
history spins in circles
again and again

valiant, indomitable
conquering, ennobling, lauding

Like a beacon shining with eternal bliss
The victorious underdog will always exist
As the true diehard David and Goliath fan
Resourceful as the incredible shrinking man
Motivated by lack of respect and esteem
Never saying die and fulfilling the dream
Placed by God in a
Babling brook, five stones
David took, to fight
Goliath giant man
David shephard lad
Five smooth stones by
God commanded
Make your mark as
God intended
Running fast
One in sling
Listen hear
That stone
Singing
Bling
David and Goliath
I stood before the behemoth
(aware of my dimension)
and cast my eye upon his intention
and feared not, for the Lord is my protection.

Reference:
Old Testament: 1 Samuel 17:1-58
The Goliath reaches deep underground,
grabbing a hand full of coal
Crushing the black rock in his huge maw,
polishing it to gleaming diamonds.
Flinging the treasure into the ebon sky.
So at night we can look heavenward,
and enjoy a million stars
in a midnight sky.
David & Goliath
Big vs Small
Pebbles vs Sword
David vs Goliath
Tall vs Short
Sling-Shot
Sword and Shield
Sheppards Boy
Giant to Sky
Just a few stones
On the battle ground
Bravely won
Shepherd boy on the throne
Respect from the crowd
New King in town
Does corruption blind intelligence,
does greed devour truth
Will intention cast the final vote,
its motives never moot
As David slew Goliath,
Lilliputians lie in wait
To bind and tie an Angels wings
—the Devil at the gate
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2017)

The typical becomes so cynical
Silently the moon lulls me to sleep
With a celestial song
In my dreams I'm so naive
I'm not myself
Unafraid & strong
I lead an army into battle
I slay Goliath with just a stare
I fly with invisible wings
While the muse of music sings
Her song to victory.

Nature's sweet angel has arrived.
With a metal eye that doesn't discriminate.
Invisible warrior jousting with a giant.
Slowing down the destruction of Earth's heart.
David slaying Goliath with sling and rock.
From the cool-cool lungs of a bramble God.
We're always six feet from our prayers.
Stronger than Hercules
Strength beyond Atlas
Robust beyond Samson
Superman doesn’t compare
Forceful beyond Zeus
Convincing beyond Tarzan
Vigorous beyond the Sons of Hercules
Tougher than Goliath
Powerful beyond mortals being the Heavenly Almighty
Above all who sees all
When Bayt lahm guttured Bait lehem,
no bagels and baguettes are baked.
As hummus and labneh melting down,
prickly grapes grown in Golan Heights,
Awakened Elchanan terminated Goliath.
Raising Rachel tribes of nomadic life,
goes to a mysterious hypogeum.
The underground chamber,
forefather of Hebron and Nablus.
Titan Goliath challenged young David to a floggin'
But David with his slingshot beaned him on the noggin!
Dave viewed the carcass and was heard to say, "Nothin' to it!"
His envious brethren said, "Yeah! 'Twas just a lucky hit!"

Goliath*, mighty giant
Against young David he was defiant
With God’s strength triumphantly prevailing
Goliath, smitten by David; forever in defeat, ailing.
*1Samuel 17:4 And there went out a champion out of the camp of the Philistines, named Goliath, of Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.
