The Tale of a Foe

Close your eyes What do you see? I see you That's the calamity A complex fun Ends with woe Little harm done But a sensible foe It can make a person happy If only for a day But then you get sad When the feeling leads you astray Gullible is the heart And weak is the mind It can make two part If this is all you can find Anyone can share it It doesn't have to be found It even nests in the wind Where whispers can abound So even if blind Or if you can see It is a predator To you and me Confusing a generation Who want to be free Blinding our hearts with Bittersweet, equanimity
