     Going belly up.

To find a pathway out of hell.

Eventhough someone treat me bad
Well I don't see him as my enemy
Let him be a teacher
Who always reminds me
Not what to do.

I did not know hate
till I was told to kill him,

I universal soldier

One I might call my enemy
Yet upon reflection
And closer inspection
He isn’t much different than me.

then he starts second-guessing...

Enemy or friend?
To choose enemy 
Forgiving an enemy 
Better 
Than getting a friend
Enemy is like a devil 
Still most known

If Life Strikes You Not

If Life strikes you not--
To cut you in that Fated way--
And you linger till not even an enemy be--
Know then the pain of loneliness

in the village street
alone our brand new gas lamp
this our Las Vegas,
while we all celebrated
enemy bombs raining down.

Low

Cannot win but cannot lose,
Aloe fleshes will sooth no bruise,
My skin is dry,
My flesh is cracked,
Gravity is my enemy,
And still must watch my back.

Premium Member I Am Addendum

When I batter myself 
when I’m broken and in doubt;
When I put the mixer on high
without letting my emotions settle down?
I am my own worst enemy.

Premium Member Sounds So Nice

We beat our swords into plowshares
  And the enemy bombed all our farms

Disarmament sounds nice in theory
  But it's the other side's call to arms

The Nigerian Dream 6

A world class country
Where corruption remained an enemy
Bribery a foe to the leaders
Good roads and better pipe borne water
Constant power supply.
