Cowardly Dog / Feige Hund

So you think you're smart with your nasty words
As you fling them to the wind
With these words you aim to cause much pain
So everyone can see your superiority

Through books you hunt high and low
To find words that cause much confusion
You think by this they look so dumb
And in your eyes you rise much higher

Sie sind ein Feigling der versteckt
Hinter dem so genannten Wissen
Aber ich wess die warheit zu sehen
Du bist wirklich weit unterlegen

About this poem:

Not written with anyone particular in mind...just trying something totally different. There are many people in this world who hide behind big words trying to make themselves feel better by putting someone else down. Just recently worked with a person like that who threw his big words around but could not even use a can opener to open a can and yet he tried to make everyone around him feel inferior. So I suppose that this is with all those type of people in mind.

Translation is as follows

You are a coward who hides
Behind your so called knowledge
But I know the truth you see
You are really far inferior

Thanks for sharing, it rings true...

Steve my friend. Such an enlightening venture let me tell you. How is the wind coming on your way? Much romance and love perhaps? I am here in your magnificent down under sharing the beauty and hospitality of your beautiful country. Steve, Sydney is now my number one city and it is surpassing so fast all the others I have been. I love my man Stevef and I thank Down Under for that.

While am writing this My John is researching the German translation??? So now we become so global Steve. This is fun.

I saw the movie Bully last night. This poem speaks to bullies on the internet, and there are plenty since it is easy and they don't have to worry about getting beat up back. The last part I couldn't translate, but it sounds German to me!

Thank you mcradloff...bullies don't have to use sticks and stones to do their damage...there is far more damage done by using words

Great Steve! I speak ancient Cryptoscript from the lost tribe of the Cryptokites. 45,000 BC.

steve1223OPadelaide, South Australia AustraliaMay 22, 2012

Thank you bjallen...they are definately life dumb

steve1223OPadelaide, South Australia AustraliaMay 22, 2012

Thank you cafe...the week they taught Cryptoscript the lost tribe of the Cryptokites. 45,000 BC. I was sick and when I returned they had moved on to Crimean Gothic, a dialect spoken by the Crimean Goths in some isolated locations in Crimea (now in Ukraine) until the late 18th century
