Friends and Enemies

Your success is your friend’s distress Your friend’s distress gives you self-praise Your enemy is the closest watcher Your friend in the distant watcher Your enemies conceal their rivalry Your friends reveal their rivalry Your friends compete with you Your enemies deplete you Your enemy wears a mask Your friend masks your wear Your enemy’s enemy is you friend Your friend’s friend may be your enemy
