Poem Commentary

The Shepherd boy, David who had faith. He knew that Goliath was no match for him, when he relied on God.

David The Shepherd Boy

He howled and growled with confidence that victory was near,
Boasting, bragging how mighty he was, filling all Israel with fear, 
The nine feet tall gigantic Goliath challenges went unopposed,
Until David the shepherd boy confronted and exposed,
Goliath had been yelling for a challenger for forty days,
Timidity shattered Israel's ranks, a daily scene replayed,
All in Israel was afraid to confront this giantic man,
Armoured breastplate, metallic sheild brandished with muscular hands.

David visited his siblings who fought for Israel's King,
Asking the King for permission to fight with large stones in a sling,
The King smiled in admiration at the courage he displayed,
And then said, "this is not your fight son, let this battle be delayed",
"You are an inexperienced shepherd boy, this is too much for you,
We are experience soldiers son, we'll figure out what to do".

David decided to return to the King after no challenger came,
From within his kingdom provinces embarassing his name,
A humiliation to King Saul and to his fighting men,
David came and offered to fight and told the King his plan,
"I'm a brave fighter who fights lions and bears, defeating in God's name,
And I will challenge bragging Goliath, their armies will be tamed".

David approached the giant who pulled out a very large sword,
Continuing his bragging fete, helmeted with an iron gourd,
Throwing up his hand to celebrate with his gigantic sword,
In that shiny helmet of iron, it was vented for Goliath to see,
David aimed accurately at this giant as big as a tree,
As his sling went round and round Goliath was hit with a blow,
The children of Isreal shout with victory at David's accurate throw.

Goliath fell as if dead on the ground with a rumbling thud,
And Israel shout for victory in the name of God.
David pulled Goliath's sword and one chop removed his head,
All Israel who were terrified knew now Goliath was dead,
The Philistines were persued and defeated in that war,
David came out victorious as God's shining star.
