poetry
is the
battle
of the brain
where Davids
wage war
against giant
problems
in iron armourments
threatening
to crush us
to pulp
I, the poet
am armed
with smooth
poetic stones
swirled in
the sling
of my powerful
tongue
pelting words
like stones
aimed at
big heads
filled with
insanity
my poetic rough
stone
flies like
a rocket
and bore
thru the
head
to bring
down
gigantic
problems
of men
and women!
