The Coward


I see you walking through the hallways Trying to cast fear Finding the littlest kids To get your sick kick out of scaring and tormenting Look me right in the eye A coward lays behind that absent mind The stature of a tower But you slither like a snake in the grass You got a little fake grin Your all powerful until a challenge is taken and then You run away as another giant tries to stand up Nothing but a coward it makes me want to throw up A parasite of society I will not act violently But just like the last time I will stand up And speak out for the future professors, and comedians The future managers, engineers and friends The kids who mothers worry about their precious sunshine You and I will speak up and stop this terrible crime
