A Smack Of Cowardice


Most small guys, with fervent vigor
Avoid fights with those much bigger
Preferring not to fight at all
When looking up at six feet tall

It seems to make good sense to me
Their avoiding giants is the key
To survival and the guaranteeing
Of longer lives and their well-being

The bullies rarely show remorse
For utilizing brutal force
Against those small and power-less
But bullying is true cowardice

The moral here applies to nations
The need to dominate is an aberration
Those who bully-bomb a country small
Are not in truth tall at all
