The Enemy & The Friend


An enemy & a friend hand in hand,
Is what it takes to injure whilst working;
Filch one would data, another malign,
A poets reflection on such unholy flirting.

An Enemy's Enemy one may befriend,
But proven exhibits engraved transcribed;
That this new-fangled pal shalt too be uneven,
As knows conduct, conduced in heart what lies.

An Enemy's Enemy IF mistaken as Friend,
Would weaken first henceforth to thrive;
As knowing straightest path remained guarded,
Thence one traversed to circumvent & despise.

But if stood against any One, The One, who proved,
Who always contended path forward; to never dispute;
Then neither enemies nor friends or their foes or friends,
Collective resentments against that One, shalt bear no fruit.
