I Have Seen the Enemy

May we not allow the enemy to define us. 
May we define ourselves. 
An enemy is at our gate, 
but they are mere vultures. 
They wait and circle patiently, 
anticipating that our destruction is near. 
The enemy is within our gate, within our own ranks, 
even within our own being. 
The enemy empowers those at the gate. 
Conquer the enemy and those at the gate will dissipate. 
So long as there is jealousy, envy, strife and quarreling 
among us, enemies will wait at our borders to take us down. 
No one can take from me, no one can take from us, 
what wasn’t given to them to take.
