A Coward

A coward is a man
Who dares not make a move
To that rare chance
Offered to him
On the golden tray.

A coward is a man
Who dares only to give a smile
Without saying his name
Bestowed on him
On his very first day

A coward is a man  
Ignoring the present
Indulging in the past
That is a glory to him
As if life is simply a dying fame

A coward is a man  
Losing his self
Pretending to be a real man
That is a goal to him
As if life is simply being a man

He's not a man
For his tries are so lame
I'm not a man
For this smother I place on my fate
