Our Enemies In Disguise

****OUR ENEMIES IN DISGUISE***
Norman MacClain wrote, "it is those we live and love, and should know, who loot us"
But whether we like it or not they exist
For some are endowment
And others we got after birth
As some existed long even before we came to earth
But yet, we call them best
For they prove to be bona fide, but in reality, they are delusive
Making it is soo easy for us to be deceive

Auden  once wrote
"Evil is unspectacular and always human
That shares our beds and eat at our table"
So instead of seeing them as detriment to our livelihood,
We choose to see them as an advantage to our brotherhood

Our enemies are always hypercritical in nature
As their actions makes us hysterical
And except for surgical, the wounds they bring heals not
Is good I am a paranoia
For it will only help me to know my enemy can be my brother

In hard times,
Friendship makes them our only source for canvass
As they fuddle us to drive we away from our success
And pray to always see us in darkness
As they seek nothing but our sadness

They greet us with the name 'Mr Dreamer
Yet they make us quitters of our dreams just like that of Noah
Cuz the positive they chastize
And our nefarious deeds they never criticize

They seek hell for us and locks our gates
 to the heavens
Cuz our failure makes them prosperous and rapturous 
And when they dim our illuminated from behind,
Yet, they still deny

For they hate to see us hallowed for our goodworks
And hate to hear the praises for our goodness
 This makes them traduce sake of our reputation
Just because of the favour we might get from our nation

But to we,
They are tip-top among all our pals
And seems too venturesome among our chums
So we make them our fiduciary to attain the best
Yet, we get nothing but the worst

They are the same people to spearhead our downfall
And when we fall,
They are the same people to vehemently bewail to share our sorrows
For our praises to them are nothing but a mockery
So they will cease not to hate us unless we find us in the mortuary

And as we exonerate and concentrate for their release
They do nothing but to contemplate for our imprisonment
For to them our help is nothing but meagre
Yet, we still become eager to deliver

But truly I pray
I pray their evil lights always shine
And their diabolic deeds never come to light
Cuz they are relative next to us
And the friends we call them best.
