Children laugh,
scoffing at heartaches of
lonely souls sobbing
in corners of the playground;
but the bully is really a coward.

A public coward
who fears to talk
but wraps words
with a forest
of beautiful noise
to deceive audience
that he/she is terrific

Will showcase guns made for repeating
A coward would know
To put on a show
So Trump will speak instead of tweeting

Crinkle, crackle, pop open
Sneaking to treat a puppy
hiding under the table
coward shaking, stiff legs-grab and squeeze
Done till next month

No trembler in the world's storm troubled sphere;
I see heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal,
Arming me from fear.

The Heart and Mind of a Souless Man

The heart and mind of a souless man,
is a coward and a pety thef,
who steals love from others
to feel satisfied.
And even in the end,
they're still not satisfied.

Stand back, scream and shout
Don't be a coward - choose another route
Stand up and let it out
Erase all the doubt
Get out, never give in
To be silent is to let them win

I have been in the shell for years now,
Not ready to show myself to the world,
I was mocked that I was a coward
But only I knew the reason why I lived there for years

Premium Member Spineless Wimp

Listen to poem:
I lie bedraggled, disheveled,
scrunched up and crinkled,
in a pile,
like ratty raggedy 
rag doll,
besmirched, 
defiled and exiled,
for being a
spineless, 
limp 
wimp.

Premium Member New Zealand Shows Us How

The USA media is going to kill us all
Giving the shooters fame
We should be more like New Zealand
“A coward walked into a grade school”.
They never had another school shooting.

JUSTICE

A person with a spine
Is a servient coward
He shouts about justice
To secure his power

The one without a spine
Stays silent, but tall
To protect justice
From its powerful fall

Acid Rain

My dark deeds
Of shame and filth,
My coward confessions
of cupidity and sin,
My redblooded eyes
Murders of innosense,
Yahweh! to you I cry,
Wash away my stains
Pour some acid rain.

Trump Constantly Chides

Trump Constantly Chides

Trump Constantly Chides and is a coward,
Whose body likes being golden showered;
Never nice;
Does entice;
Countryside for women has often scoured.

Lost in this moment 
my emotions mixed 
I am red with rage 
Green with envy 
yellow as a coward 
white with Dread 
pink from bashfulness 
as I sit here confused 
in a mixture of colors

Premium Member Cowardice and Heroism

Cowardice and Heroism,
both share one thing in common.
The coward and the hero are both very much afraid.
Neither wants to do what needs to be done,
but the hero just happens to do it anyway.
