Cowardice

Cowards die many times before their actual deaths. ~ Julius Caesar

 The coward always slinks

In the shadows

With the other parasites

Waiting and biding their time

To crawl out of their darkness

And execute petty acts

Of what they believe

Are acts of honour

That make them feel elevated and righteous

But failure to step out

Into the light

Use their voice

To speak out

Reinforces their cowardice

I appreciate your anger, Mary, I do - I've been angry myself of late. The world does a lot to provoke us, sometimes.

That said, I'd exercise caution when calling people cowards - when you do it to their face they have a tendency to reply. Every blow I've ever struck has been out of retaliation, and it doesn't matter if I was justified when doing it, the end result is the same.

In hockey, the refs have a tendency only to call misconduct after the fight happens. It's rare that they allot two minutes for instigating when the gloves are already off.

Anyways, you do you - just offering two cents.

Powerful words, yet with a feeling of memories taking over, reminding, feeling, perhaps as we all do in a lifetime. Better perhaps to ignore, quote forgotten? Hiding or running away is a saturation of avoidance
