Mindless Dreaming

Coward

Coward.

If after that one moment

               that's how the world remembers me

The one who was too afraid to stand up 

               for what's right

Stand up for the justice and against the

               fight 

Then nothing comes except spite. 

Every inch of my soul explodes to get my attention 

To move my tired bones in the direction of the truth 

If I ignore that than I am no better than you. 

You, 

                the one who tears them down 

Who refuses to open your eyes to the 

                inequality that begins to drown 

Drown out all the good things they had to offer

Until nothing is left but a tired body 

                lacking a soul. 

If all I do is walk around

                happy that the victim is not me 

Then I'll have failed who I am meant to be.
