Coward Poem by Rini Shibu

Coward

Rating: 4.9


Why this veil, show your face
Don't hide behind the window pane
Come face to face then you will win
Or people will say you are insane
Don't throw arrows from behind
What you gain to see them bleed
Don't shed blood of innocents
When the war is with someone else
What do you gain being a coward
Don't say that you are a friend
With your smile don't kill
Do something worth for a thrill

Rini, a brilliant poem! I like the beauty, the sweetness, lucidity and simplicity of expression in all your poems. This poem is of different taste that laudably articulated a challenge…… Don't throw arrows from behind/What you gain to see them bleed/Don't shed blood of innocents/When the war is with someone else—Liked the high intensity of expression! !

Success and happiness of a poet is when the readers get the feel from the poems... John let's join hands and move forward in this world of poetry.... We are one and love each other.

I repeat, this poem is of different taste that laudably articulated a challenge…… Don't throw arrows from behind/What you gain to see them bleed/Don't shed blood of innocents/When the war is with someone else—Liked the high intensity of expression! !

Don't say that you are a friend With your smile don't kill Do something worth for a thrill.....the expression emanates from the bottom of heart of a genuine poetess! Well done! !

Cowards come in many forms. Some weak by disposition. Others are weak by taking advantage of others through power and deception. The first may be forgiven and pitied but those in the latter must be unmasked and named for what they and their crimes are.....bravo Rini, well done!
