David was advised by his kin
the sling's the thing
if you want to win
tho' small as he was
without fear
he did let fly
and rocked Goliath's world
right between the eyes
before he had time
to come near
or even throw his spear
alone from afar David did fling
and with a single stone's throw
he let go one shot to the head
and brought the giant down
yea verily knocked him stone-cold dead
Talking nonsense on a Friday night,
Holding court at the bar like a king.
Watching reality slip out of sight
As I sip on a Singapore sling ……
Straight
from the
Heart, sling 'em
Forget all that
meter, metaphor
and rhyme...just sling
'em from your
pure Heart
Straight
Not all hunters can use it with bravery-
when the wild animal is rough and angry,
wise hunter picks sling to do the noble job.
that moment no brother is near to count on,
the sling is the only real brother to turn to.
When the monster has attacked the village,
where men are cowardly and sluggish,
the brave little man comes up with sling.
Like David the little shepherd boy ages ago,
moves forward and brings down Goliath.
There is magical power in the African sling,
the weapon more powerful than the spring,
little hunter’s little strap tired on little stick.
the vulnerable saved with a sting sing in joy,
hurray, rejoice- there is magic in the sling
Sling the beast; sling the ghost, advance,
little hunter with little sling gladly does it.
Let the scared ones live new life in spring,
The brave hunter can sling down the beast.
There is magical power in the African sling
Stone in David’s sling:
One of five chosen, the one
That killed Goliath.
Flitering light through
Forest, dark moss clings to rocks
Sling shot v tree
The man a self proclaimed gay
One day was talking to Sling Blade
The man who was gay
Declared,"I believe people are under estimating you, Sling Blade.
I believe that behind that exterior
You are very deep thinker on the interior
What were you thinking just now
Please tell me lets just have a pow wow
Come on Sling Blade tell me your thoughts
What's going on inside I haven't bought
That exterior facade'
Tell me what words you've played
What was you thinking just now".
Sling Blade says, "Well how I like mustard with these French Fried Potates wow"
"No! no! not that Sling Blade."
Said the man that was gay
"Before that what thoughts in your head"
Sling Blade answered, "Not a thing instead."
The man that was gay
Looked at him twice and did say
"Oh!"
(Movie called "Sling Blade" has really been stuck in my mind. Sling Blade spent years in
a mental institution for the murder of his mother and her lover. Actually"Sling Blade" was an
abused child that had the traits of a psychopath probably because of the abuse. But I
gathered that he was a deep thinker but kept it hidden and was unable to connect
emotionally because of the abuse."
In the movie sling blade
A character was made
This person represents
Souls on this earth who live in torment
Little ones who can't defend
Little ones who don't understand
Little ones who at your mercy
Can receive love or cursing
Which do you choose to give your child
Do you love and encourage with each mile
Or do you criticize
Causing psychological crushing to their eyes
