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.
