The Ways Of The Cowards
Illusion is the weapon
Of the enemy never fall
For it or map out unnecessary
Time thinking about it.
Cowards and liars are of rainbow
Appears in many fearful forms
To harass the stout of heart
Threatening drought in their lives.
They prefers those tough
Being images and forms like
Lions, sharks, elephants, tigers
To test their luck on you.
They hunger for what they
Don’t possess in person, in physical
In spirit, in illusionary images to test
Your resolve the heart of your strength.
Never shift an inch,
Never cede an iota of space
Come what may, stand
Your ground.
Even when you do shift unconsciously
In dreams, consciously retrace your
Steps to reclaim whatever ground
They have gained in a dream, it’s rightful yours.
