A lone figure wearing a VR mask stands defiantly amid a dystopian wasteland, surrounded by crumbling luxury goods, broken television screens, and crowds lost in virtual reality headsets. Ghostly words like “fear” and “compliance” swirl above in smoke as protest signs and children’s drawings are buried beneath ash.

Coward

"We are all trained cowards
by example of our flaccidity.
Being politically correct
is promoted by our society."

Coward

Coward: one who lacks courage.
A person controlled by fear or timidity.

We are all trained cowards
by example of our flaccidity.

Being politically correct
is promoted by our society.

Flaccidity:
a flabby softness.
An example of our strength.

Facebook crybabies,
outraged by silly memes—
“I feel violated… this feels like rape!”

God forbid
you have an independent thought
in your head.

You will be attacked
for anything
you believe in.


Coward:
a person who fears things that are different.

A coward seeks to destroy
anyone or anything
that creates dissent.

A simple difference of opinion
creates belligerence
for the childish.


Coward:
a person who hides behind lies
to prevent exposure
to a painful reality.

Over 900,000 children
are being kidnapped,
some to be tortured
and raped yearly.


Coward:
a person afraid of losing
their life of luxury—
so they would rather
destroy the planet
to live easily.


Coward:
a person afraid of death
so much
that they fail to live
a life of real meaning.

Instead,
they plug into a fantasy world
of compulsive entertainment
to avoid reality.


Coward.
