If courage is far away
when one feels the urge
to run away
escape
critique knocks
somebody can't face the heat


Courage teeters
from comfort ledges
cowardice lies rampant
exposed effeminate lions
scurry into lairs
recoil
critique follows suit

King for the day
cowards year long
one feels the urge to obey
follow current trends
avoid reflections
faces glued to monitor screens

Queen for the day
Cinderella's ugly sisters
keep court a while
courage lies far away
never quite within grasp
yellow stripes crawl up spines
one feels the urge to run away
easier than facing the heat.
