Nobody Is Coward Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Nobody is coward
Thursday,22nd July 2021

nobody is coward
but waiting for the word
to be used as a sword
at the same time, praying a lord

you have admitted
that, if permitted
you shall retaliate
and equate the situation

keeping silence
irks others and invites mixed response
but you no tense
and wait for your sentence to pronounce

it is a sign of wisdom
that compels you seldom
to be used as a retaliatory force
you are a force to be reckoned with

cowards shut the eyes
and try nothing
even if it is causing insult
and results in an outburst of anger

you are kind and sober
who utters no irresponsible words
or enters arguments
to present at the wrong time and look fool
