The Coward

The Coward

Do I see what I think I see
A world gone mad
Terrorized by cowards
Who know nothing more than murder
They are not smart enough to talk
To voice what they want
They hide
Killing women and children
Kidnapping those who no not believe in their god
Killing them by the dozen
I cannot believe what I see
With all of that
The leader of a major country
Afraid to defend the innocents
He uses words to hide the truth
So his people will not panic
So his people will not want to fight
Let him hide in his stone castle
Let him whimper
Smaller countries will defend the people
They will fight the fight
Their man and women will die
Still they will save lives
While a man elected to lead the world cowers

Such killers are fakes who dont believe in any God whatsoever. They r cut throat satanists thats all. I like yor voice of humanitarian concerns voicing out against tyranny and political incapability of leaders. Poetic sarcastic and aweinspiring words. Great to read u again.
