The Coward

Marvel at the poltroonery,

Find delight in faux chivalry

Admire the tempting satisfaction,

Succumb to the insatiable attraction

Seek refuge under the solace,

Stray from gnawing malice

Listen to the eerie silence,

Forego the daunting violence

Stand underneath and be bound,

Praise the contented underground

The land above is ever so vicious,

Worthy is the ambitious

Smile within the emptiness,

Plague the heart of capriciousness

Reign over the tranquil ocean,

And for eternity live in delusion
