The enemy isn’t each other

Somebody of a different race, belief or colour

Somebody that says I’m right and you’re wrong

The enemy isn’t a person

Your father or your brother

A cousin an ex-friend or lover

The enemy is the very thing

To which that you do not want to admit

The enemy is the secret you have to keep

The enemy is the pain that gnaws away

At your own belief

Of it’s my right

The enemy is the thief in the night

The one that lay’s in wait in the very centre of your heart

The one that robs you of your courage

The enemy is the one that whispers

Searing hate and pain

 

The enemy is greed

Jealousy

Revenge

Ignorance

Disrespect

Hate

Malevolence

Mistrust and FEAR

The enemy does not care

About truth

The one thing the enemy

Fears most of all is

LOVE

So today

Tomorrow

Next month

Next year

Hold out the welcome hand of friendship

The smile that says yes instead of no
