Love Your Enemies

Love your enemies With my eyes closed I could still see clearly even when they tried to hide the truth from me I did not need my eyes to see the lies they were telling me I did not eat the food they cooked but I could taste the bitterness from looking in their eyes, They looked like they were bleeding internally I had no bandages to stop the bleeding They spoke to me, tiptoeing around my heart with words that demonstrated the arrogance in their minds He lays a table before me in the midst of my enemies’ 4some reason I felt like that dude David when he wrote those psalms In their eyes I was a fool and blind to their candy coated approach Before the devil’s hands lies Gold and earthly Riches, shaking their hands required profound meditation They spoke in tongues but were oblivious to my multilingualism They spoke in parables unaware that my mind instinctively decodes and deciphers I do not know if it was a curse or a blessing but my mind somehow breaks everything down to its core They had a lot to say but were unaware that I could hear everything that they were not saying When I spoke their feelings were throbbing and their minds in pain for the truth is like a sharp knife coach Cutting through skin with ease like light passing through a thin glass Like Thor’s hammer my words broke their shields I was not at war but they yielded hanging white flags on their heads They begged for compassion and forgiveness the guilt they felt was their hell of burning sulphuric flames These flames do not burn the skin but burns the inner being the spirit They could not tell any lies or hide the truth I came to them in a form a white dove emitting light and said “peace be upon you for inner peace extinguishes any flame”
