A friend or foe to me, I equate same,
A weakness of mine as both use, to tame!
A foe shalt at least be explicit, I know,
A friend shalt be subtle, that I ignore!
A trust in both, leads me to the gates,
A road more or less taken meet alike fate!
A coffee served by foe, I won’t drink!
A coffee served by friend, then I’ll think!
A list of my foe’s beliefs, I always prepare,
A band given by friend, I may not wear!
A friend or foe thus, ne’er segregate,
A life is long & you don’t know who cares!
