Goliath PityA Poem by Sam YaakovDouble meaning in title?I suppose I’ll walk around, bobbing my
head, My heart is made of stone, my ribs are
made of lead, The moon in the sky, has lost her
silver lining, My cardiac system fails, with utmost
perfect timing,
I just killed Goliath, but David took
the cred, Now he’s out to kill me, so paint me
red, Little people with big hearts, they
start crying, They want to be found, I hope they
start finding,
‘Hey you, I know your kind’, some freak
said, ‘You look like a hippie, who’s never
been fed, I don’t know if he was a liar, but he
was lying, I could only help him, if I was
trying,
Look how much this pen has bled, Surely now it must be dead, Write me a song, for me to sing, Then give me a new voice, one that’s
shiny and clean,
I’ve become a gawking site, for flocks
of weirdos, Some want to know me, but not get
close, They hear my ugly voice, but not what
I’m singing, I don’t want to die, I’m still
dreaming. © 2016 Sam YaakovAuthor's Note
