Cowardly Fool Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You celebrated my death.
And delighted in my murder.
You thought your lips would seal and crush...
My life into a hopelessness.
And upon my destitution...
You would rush and stand upon.
And in my ears,
Insults you would murmur!

You have been quite foolish to ever believe...
I would ever grant you that kind of power over me!
Did you perceive my bleeding made me weak!
And that is why you prematurely...
Declared me dead!
Another useless 'entity'?

You cowardly fool!
Everyone can see.
You have never been more than wind!
You have never been a match...
To dare to attack me!
