Would you rather be

A fool or a coward

How about both?

Is this an option?

Well I don’t see why not

Tell me about them

Well the fool is favored

For knowing who they are

And not being ashamed of it

But the coward…

The coward sees the need

and runs away in fear

But the foolish coward

Journeys from anger

To a place of resignation

Knowing there’s nothing they can do

To change a heart or stem disaster

And in this sacred knowledge

They fall still as a witnessed deer

Seeking only to be the best of themselves

In how that it makes a difference.

Coolish coward it is then.
