Of your mind's opposing choirs,
Which ranks will you join,
Of cowardice and despair
Or courage and fulfillment...

A general lost a war 
Soldier shot
Cowardice they said 
The General was promoted 
Got an extra star....

in fleeting 
moments 
of cowardice,

may you 
still strive 
to be bold

who struggle,
stumble and fail!...

   intelligence

“Until the strong winds of conviction

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.

But

Tolerating Man-made suffering without a fight is cowardice!

Cowardice and Heroism,
both share one thing in common.

Neither wants to do what needs to be done,
but the hero just happens to do it anyway....

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.

courage
                    valiant, heroic, 
      summoning, praising, mustering
determination, fortitude, timidity, coward
       hiding, reproaching, displaying
                 disgraceful, pitiful
                       cowardice

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)

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....

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)...
