Beware! Goliath Comes
Dominic Halter, Age 10

A wave soars towards the shore,
As colossal as two elephants on the plain,
Tourists rooted to the spot,
Like an iceberg of terror has wrapped itself
around them.
Beware Goliath comes!
Fill your sling with sunshine
And evaporate their grief.

People sit paralysed,
Having forgotten how to live,
The strength of independence faded,
Their spirits left with the terrible company
of loneliness.
Beware Goliath comes!
Fill your sling with desire
And bring life.

Minutes fly passed,
Hours go by,
Starvation glides through the atmosphere,
Children lie waiting,
Patiently,
Waiting for the taste of death
That swims across the landscape.
Beware Goliath comes!
Fill your sling with the light of hope
And let the starving see the silver lining.

Mothers grieve for the loss of their babies,
Children cry over their dead parents,
People fall into the depths of despair,
Tramps find the door of life shut,
Locking them in the room of death.
Beware Goliath comes!
Fill your sling with people and loved ones
And bring them back into the joy of our
world.

Woodcutters destroying rain forests,
Insects, animals, birds left homeless,
Fleeing from the chainsaw of terror and
death.
Falling down like the trees....
Dead!
Beware Goliath comes!
Fill your sling with compassion and respect
And bring laughter.

See Goliath fall!
