John Lyday - David and Goliath

A lithesome youth takes to the field.
A stouter heart no man could wield.
Alone he stands against a host.
In front, a single guard they post,
the all-time champion of utter war.
His name is etched in martial lore;
a mighty bear in battle gear,
a giant warrior for all to fear.

Ferociously, Goliath attacks.
David stands but still reacts.
A leather talisman on which to cling,
like a baton, he twirls his sling.
The swirling tempo of his song erupts.
Death is the music that he conducts.
Within a beat, the stone is cast.
Immortal man is dead at last.

John Lyday
