Excuses of a Coward

When a coward shudders
He blames it on the weather
Even when it is hot
He says it is cold
And when he cries
He blames it on his eyes
And his lachrymal glands
Which he says
Malfunction.

Not only does a coward exhibit being myopic
He is often awkward
As he tries to beautify
The openly ugly!

Cowards hide behind gentlemen
As they try to reason
With the unreasonable
And make beasts
Beauties!

They hide behind ladies
When they stand to apologise
To rapists and murderers
For they fear the consequences.

Julius Sai Mutyambizi-Dewa
