Coward

Here stands the coward As you look upon his face, So afraid of the world outside His soul is full of pity and disgrace. He talks behind ones back When they are never around, He is only tough when he is alone And he is always coward bound. He will never talk face to face When conflict heads his way, He will just run away and hide And to GOD for protection he will pray. He lacks the courage to do many things As he always runs out of man's sight, He hides while no one is looking As he can never fight his own fight. He will make up his stories and lies So, he can cover up his cowardly way, As that is all that he knows to do He is so afraid of all danger and pain. He will laugh and will always smile As that too is part of his act, So persons might believe he is brave But, bravery and manhood he does lack. He is brave when females are around Then he pretends he is something he's not, He feels their heads with his lies and stories Or of deeds that other men had done and sought. He is so much like a frightened animal With its tail tucked between its legs, To all he shows that he has no courage Which is more than a cowardly plague. He is also known by other names Which he has been call in the past before, He is also known as a chicken and sissy And that too is branded upon his core. He timidly wakes up everyday And takes himself a sadly shower, He washes off the dirt from the night before But, he cannot wash off being a coward. Randy L. McClave
