Here stands the coward

As you look upon his face

So afraid of the world outside

His soul is full of pity and disgrace.

He talks behind ones back

When they are never around

As he is tough when he is alone

And he is always coward bound.

He will never talk face to face

When conflict heads his way

He will just run away and hide

And to GOD for protection he will pray.

He lacks the courage to do many things

As he always runs out of Mans sight

He hides while no one is looking

As he can never fight his own fight.

He will make up his stories and lies

So he can cover up his cowardly ways

As that is all that he knows to do

He is so afraid of all danger and pain.

He will laugh and will always smile 

As that too is part of his act

So persons might believe he is brave

But bravery and Manhood he does lack.

He is brave when females are around

Then he pretends he is something he’s not

He feels their heads with his lies and stories

Or of deeds that other men had done and sought.

He is so much like a frightened animal

With its tail tucked between its legs

To all he shows that he has no courage

Which is more than a cowardly plague.

He is also known by other names

Which he has been call in the past before

He is also known as a mamas boy

And that too is branded upon his core.

He timidly wakes up everyday

And takes himself a sadly shower

He washes off the dirt from the night before

But he cannot wash off being a coward.
