POLITICAL Poem: The David, by Scott Holleran

The story of David endures.
Biblical boy versus giant allures.
Why this tale evokes glee
Owes to simplicity
As defying a giant assures.

America and China conflict.
The young one decides to constrict.
In a world of appeasement
One acts up for a reason.
Which the powered condemn as too strict.

The giant that’s challenged is real.
It whips its own people to heel.
Using force without measure
Stealing lives, blood and treasure
The giant may yet come to deal.
