Learning From Foes
With vital role as antagonist
Marked by being oppositionist
Foes become functional activist
Bringing out best from protagonist.
Good show midst evil scheme they insist
Villains defy hypocrisy mist
Even in truth, group is terrorist
Like “Serpent Society” of theft-heist.
Snake-themed criminals on business twist
They would fight hero and aim, resist
Yet Captain America’s kind fist
Still won while deceit he did desist.
Learning from adversaries’* wrong whist
To God I cling as faith's optimist
Since He reigns in love’s champion wrist
Making me His righteous conformist.
*1Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.
