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