Courage Or Cowardice? Poem by Kingsley Egbukole

Courage Or Cowardice?

Rating: 5.0


He ended it all
For reason(s)judged sagacious
By a slash, shoot, swallow or a hang
For quick and easy departure
Of a life no longer worth the price.

What was his last thought
The second before the last breath
A smile of Bushido
Or a fearful frown of defeat.

Your poem is so apt, the question whether taking ones own life is 'Courage or Cowardice' posited in your poemvis very pellucid, no matter how you look at it taking ones own life is more of Cowardice then courage. No matter what ones is faced with, it takes Courage to take the bull by the horns not running away or accepting defeat. Thanks for sharing Kings.
