True Enemy

True enemy is not the one you know; It’s a friend or a family who you know. He bears huge grudge but gently smiles. Disloyal plan, he has mounted covertly. Close to me, he is;cries when I agonize; Yet, animosity fully dwells in his heart. Beware of scorpions wearing snail’s shell. Ordinary eyes never see regular enemy; Their stings injure the body and the heart. Recall Herod and the Magi ‘bout Jesus, Understand Delilahand Samson of the Bible, Conclude with the hug of Judas to Christ; Sit and digest the gist of people’s words. Poem by Mugisho N Theophile
