Coward or Lion


 

 

LION OR COWARD

His inner voice growls

Hair stands on edge

Feet shake and tremor

Intestines empty bowels.

 

Some call him a lion

Others whisper coward

He listens to the voice

He publicly shuns.

 

He has whispered in fear

Voice chokes in his throat

Some turn a way

Others turn and sneer.

 

Then one cloudy day

A volcano spout out

No one still got it

And he turned, walked away.

 

Some call him a lion

Others whisper a coward

He walked away head down

He walked away to his den.
