You and Me

I live for me,
You live for you.
While we are free
We'll do CONTINUE!

You owe me zero;
Just be your own hero.

If we are un-envying brothers forever
Let's fight for our individual rights together.

You are my enemy
If you hate private property.
If you love it,
You could be my friend.

You are my enemy
If you love economic regulations.
If you hate them
You might be my friend.

You are my enemy
If you hate your own life.
If you love it,
We have much in common.

Another great poem from you! With all that's going on in our country today, there are many people who agree with your statements. Like the lines" "You owe me zero; Just be your own hero." I'll have to read more of your poetry, Brian. You have a unique and interesting voice.
