A David For David Contest
A DAVID FOR DAVID

Long ago there lived a man--
King David, poet, ruled a  land
As a singer showed his heart
As a warrior played his part
Tried to follow God’s great law

you are not that slow

unforgettable
irreversible
sudden and swift sword
under one law
reaping at high score
catching a tragic flaw
just go
enough we saw
of a broken vow

oh... what a scary picture to draw!...
