One Real Enemy
© 2018 Steve CookOne Real Enemy
Like me, you only have one real enemy,
In all the broad universe just one being
With sufficient capability
To obfuscate your clarity
Undermine your dignity
Dull your sensibility
Whisper lies so convincingly
As to dissipate your energy
Thwart your creativity
Rubbish your sense of destiny
And by and large and generally
Mess you up and do you in.
And if you ask "Who is he?"
This fiend who acts so evilly
Against you so successfully,
Know that the basic mystery of mysteries
Of this universe is ultimately
There is no ruddy mystery.
And your solitary enemy,
Your personal pet terrorist
Hides in plain sight quite ironically
And you see him with horrible clarity
Every time you look in the mirror.
