empty words can strangle
nothing of the noble kind.
david slew his tens of thousands;
you can crush this pompous nuisance.

What troubles you: pain? disappointment? fear? loneliness?
These are your pseudo-GIANTS waiting to defeat you with their big mouths and ponderous armour.
However, what is that in your hand: a rod? a needle? a stone? a song?
God can use it! He specialises in slaying pompous giants.
In His Name, the lowly rise as giants fall, because the battle is the Lord’s. (2 Chron. 20:15)

I'm deeply grateful for your read, like, and observation, Ahavati.
For reasons known to us, my wife and I needed just this kind of poem today -- which I didn't know when I wrote it yesterday.
Blessings.
