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
