    Arrow David and Goliath

    David and Goliath
    by mazHur



    Have a heart, brothers
    in this time of trial
    God is with us
    He'll open the knot.

    Weaker as we are
    Our faith is strong;
    the day will follow
    what if night be long?

    Fear not the devil
    have faith in God's mercy;
    He will come to your succor
    just wait and see.

    He only gives power
    to the weaker and upright;
    for the arrogant and cruel
    He brings but plight.

    By His mercy and grace
    I will go alone to fight
    Goliath, the truculent giant
    have a heart and sit tight.

    Give me my sling and a stone
    I am ready to face the brute;
    from heavens above I can hear
    the beast turned dead mute.

    Come, Goliath, try your hand
    for the first and the last time;
    this battle will ultimately decide
    that the weak are strong in God's clime.


    Laughing at the little boy, David
    the beast advanced to kill him
    drunk with the wine of his strength
    staggering in his pride and whim.


    In God's name, David reached him,
    hurled his sling with a deadly aim
    at the crude's weakest zone
    and lo! the beast fell like a tame!


    The strong was instantly killed
    the weaker came out victorious
    God smiled from the heavens above
    and proved Himself thus.

    Every time you come up with gems of poetry. All are very absorbing.

    “Those who seek to satisfy the mind of man by hampering it with ceremonies and music and affecting charity and devotion have lost their original nature””

    “If water derives lucidity from stillness, how much more the faculties of the mind! The mind of the sage, being in repose, becomes the mirror of the universe, the speculum of all creation.
