David and Goliath
David and Goliath
Why did you not come along? Were we not brothers in arms? Did you not see the signs?
Did we not know how to stay- safe in our pristine place?
Will the air breathe back its rich design of harmonious Holocene pastures - Innocent coughing of wilderness change?
This is gorilla time- or no time at all-
With hands gently folded on old leather face-
Great black beast- curious and fierce,
You have swung free from our brutal brain’s dilemma Come play with me-
Please romp and stomp on the still wild place
Please glance at me
Down the millions of eons flashing past in your stare Can you please-
Please say- say- I forgive?

Free verse
Review Request (Intensity):
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words:
This poem has a photo attached which won't paste into this portal ?
Could I attach another way
it is pivotal to the realisation of the poem?
Kind regards!

Wow!
From the title of the poem, it's self explanatory to the theme. You've cited a reference from the bible to describe the two forces on a far distance threatening each other; especially Goliath disdained David as an inferior rabble. Beautiful delivery!
