Some call him a coward
For not going forward
He knows his heart
From that he'll not part.
He knows his reasons
He has his convictions
He will have to stay strong
Though they say it's wrong.
In a world full of pain
There's nothing to gain
Why should he conform?
To a world that's not norm.
Deep down he is feeling
Like the others, he's reeling
Why should he feel shame?
For not playing this game.
Shot at dawn-
His family mourn-
His heart it was tendered
He was brave till it ended.
The man was a son, a brother
A friend like no other
He was barely a boy
He gave so much joy.
He now is made a hero
Not classed as a zero
He was only asserting
That his heart was hurting.
We remember the brave
And what they did to save
May we remember him too
Would you honestly go?
