Inviting voices
Of your mind's opposing choirs,
Which ranks will you join,
Of cowardice and despair
Or courage and fulfillment
The Military
A soldier lost his rifle
A general lost a war
Soldier shot
Cowardice they said
The General was promoted
Got an extra star.
Heroes and cowards share one thing in common.
Both Are Very Afraid.
Neither wants to do what needs to be done,
but the hero does it anyway.
Hang your head in shame:
kept quiet in the face of injustice
~ the lingering taste of cowardice

A man got shunned from a haven
The host made rules that were craven.
Peers banned his prize joke
for fear of the woke
Proud noses were pecked by his raven.
“Cowardice often hides behind
intelligence
“Until the strong winds of conviction
—blow it away.”
(Quote From My New Novel: Sold Out, February, 2020)
Even
in fleeting
moments
of cowardice,
may you
still strive
to be bold
and prevail,
yet, remain
kind to those
who struggle,
stumble and fail!
I saw
the spirits of
the freedom fighters
rising from ashes
and addressing
the cowardice
countrymen:
Is this
for this
we had fought for
your freedom?
There is no bravery without fear.
Control is the key for balancing that pair.
Without balance bravery evolves into recklessness,
and fear can develop into total cowardice.
In our nation’s final, fatal stages
Before our country falls
From cowardice within,
Our daughters die for soldier’s wages.
And when the bugle calls
Out taps…it sounds our sin.
Terrorism,I venerate your abject cowardice
Preying on amiable,zealous souls' innocence
Your farfetched,timorous scheme to hide
Among aborigines and by pugnacious animosity abide.
Terrorism
Non existence
Of bravery.
Public bomb treat
A bravado
Of cowardice.
Showing of force
Of power trip
In weak leader.
Democracy
Working today
In tyranny.
Losers dwell
in misery’s past
Winners reach
for tomorrow recast
Cowardice hides
from every new dawn
Where freedom awaits
— the brave and the strong
(Dreamsleep: November, 2025)
Accepting Godsend afflictions with resignation is fortitude
But
Tolerating Man-made suffering without a fight is cowardice!

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.
anonymous card
passionate cowardice words
a valentine wish
asking for a date
benevolent gallantry
one kiss too many
tensed on one knee
proposal of love
will you marry me please?
Who doesn't love love,
doesn't deserve to be loved...
And cowardice is a subject
of men, not of lovers...
lovers dare adventures
cowards only suffer and that's it...!
I dont play games
Especially no blame games
Blame games are what victoms play
To save face
Pure cowardice
Straight trash waste managent
Fugazi fake counterfit
If i made myself
Any more clear
You would be convinced
I wasn't here
may you, in cowardice,
be bold and prevail,
yet kind to those who
struggle, stumble and fail;
may you be honed
by occasional defeat,
yet, in triumph, shunning
urges of conceit!
A coach?
A role model?
A hero?
Maybe
to somebody.
Perhaps
you made up
for your cowardice
somewhere else
with someone else.
A father?
I wouldn't know.
Maybe to
another child.
To me
an abandoner,
the rest unknown.

Has your life
become an anthem
to those things
that you’ve fled
Did denial
and avoidance
leave you once
in good stead
Can you swear
to the heavens
you had
no other choice
Cowardice
and trepidation
the breath
—in your voice
(The New Room: November, 2023)
I abhor…
bigotry,
dishonesty,
hate and
disloyalty,
bias
and jealousy,
misogyny
and tyranny
But more than anything
I hate weakness in all its forms,
cowardice being the most destructive,
which allows all of the things I abhor…
to exist
(Dreamsleep: April, 2020)
See no truth,
Hear no truth,
Speak no truth.
Follow the leader.
Don’t look to either side
Or you might see
In the mirror
Of your own making
Your cowardice,
distortions, self-absorption,
lies, and poor judgment.
Keep the blinders on.
Follow the leader
over the cliff.
former evil in powerful doses
crumbling to a horrid nightmare
of fears enlimited, cowardice,
evil is returning to its far
corners of onyx imperfection
though it may take time
they are falling back
the the nights onyx corners
from the shadows comes
the light of Gods light.
