My Enemy

My Enemy
From my time I have learned
It is not republican or democrats
king or queens
That shall determine my fate
It is not the color of ones skin
That makes them who they are
Or which religion one serves
Or which corner 
They choose to worship
It is not the feud
Of which life matters
It is not this worlds
 view in life that withstands
And it's not what race I was born into
It is not the division
This world strives to create
For in this time
I have come to learn
My worst enemy
Is me not surrending
Unto the creator of the all and all
It is only us that separates
Us from the love you never known
For you will see no color
Or care which race 
You where born into
For we are all God's creation
And he wants to live
In each of us
That we might reveal
To others the love he has for us
If you are still reading
I pray the Lord
Enters and dwells within
That he might become more
And we shall become less
And be a light
To a world that lives in 
Darkness
I love you all

Let God enter us and we become less and He grows more. Many of us fail to realize that God is the Supreme one. When we come this realization, we will give Him the first place above everything . Then like prisms we will be able to reflect God's love. Beautiful poem

We should all be humble. That’s why there are lists, here, contests, POTD, He is forgotten as we try to impress others. Some, by popularity, or number of comments. Poetry to me is far more than winning! But I understand that human desire greatly, to learn forms at your speed counts most to me. There are multiple religions here….and atheists. Your Creator is number one, Great poem! Pangie

We should all be child-like. *Humble* Pride stands in the way of following God. I agree, we are our own worst enemy. Your thoughts are so beautiful and uplifting. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Brandy
