¡I AM A COWARD!
Important Note: This Publication corresponds to an Improvement Edition and subsequent translation from Spanish to English of My Poem, previously made by me and published in Steemit: https://steemit.com/venezuela/@josevasquez/cobarde-soy
Everything was done by the Author: myself
With Graphic support, according to the sources cited
I am a coward, because here I do not do anything,
because I feel afraid of this situation that I should stop,
in this crisis of difficult circumstance for Venezuela,
but I show lack of courage to undertake a solution.
...
I do not face those who destroy us viciously,
I am a coward justified as a prudent man,
I risk very little and I hide scared, like vermin,
sad misfortune that stuns my body, soul and mind.
...
I am a coward, for not wanting to face the vile beast,
I omit opinions to do nothing that implies risks,
I fear doing dangerous actions of justice,
I call myself a coward, in the guise of a skewed fool.
...
How many Venezuelans do I harm or hurt?
With my way of being so cruelly pusillanimous,
I am unable to act with honor! To whom I lie?
Brave Heart, get out of there, talk, tell me and act.
I am a coward, I am a moron, I am a dragged one, I am an old useless
and I do not write anything against this unfortunate dictatorship,
I go undercover, fearful and lying, for not being brave or bold,
With shame I see my people die to survive with enslaving bondage.
...
I charge my spiritual poverty more than material,
nothing I face and I look like a puppet of this dirty government,
I have the strength of a scarecrow in ruinous mental desaire,
and stupidly I am not encouraged by the complex challenge of attacking hell.
...
I am a coward, because I run away from being a citizen in the act of cowardice,
I give collaboration and consent to the "vile selfishness that once again triumphed",
out of fear I save myself painful reproaches, from yoke and from idleness,
and without the glory of a brave people, I'm a fool because I'm scared as a creeping animal.
...
Much cowardice charge as a heavy cross, with little honesty and minimal character to the noise,
fearful I live before the sepulchral fury of this evil government, and I bow down I go,
I self-describe contemptuously for lack of value, I'm a poor fool,
I hide tearful, fearful, foolish, petty, cautious and dismayed: I am a Coward!
