Strongman part 1 [poem]

Dear strong man
 I see you there
Posing as you lift weights in the air.
Posturing and posing knowing with out a care
That you can lift that bench of ten americans
knowing all the muscles rippling in your chest would rate full tens
As the people watch in awe
While you tell the weight manager to kick it up just one more notch.

You are strong but you are not the strongest
I know more people who've shown more strength for the longest time.
I have seen children with cancer fight on agains immeasurable odds
All while their parents sit ringside praying to gods that may not even hear.
For the audience is roaring wanting blood.
Half bettting on the problem knowing The childs already  a dud.

I've seen an endurance test.
Endless dives into a gradually deepening pool with out rest
The audience sitting in the humid pool building Yellin
"Drown fatso" or "Moby dick"
Screaming a concerto of mockeries as others push her back into the tide
hating her only because she thicker around the sides.
