People Call Him A Coward
People call him a coward because he won't use his fists.
But he's not a coward at all, he's a pacifist.
When he refuses to fight, many say it makes no sense.
But he doesn't believe in fisticuffs, he's against violence.
Because he won't fight back, a man picked on him and knocked him down.
He refused to fight that man even though he was knocked to the ground.
You can call him a coward if you want but it's not true.
He will not fight people and that is a smart thing to do.
People call him a wimp, they say because he won't fight, it's a disgrace.
But if there were more men like him, the world would be a better place.
Amen to this.
Amen to this.
About the noblest thing one can do is to take the risk that not arming oneself to fight (fists or otherwise) will disarm one so angered to violence.
A very well expressed poetic message, in my opinion.
