Enriching My Mind With The Shortcomings They Find Poem by Louise Tredoux

I love my enemies because
our worst enemies are our
best friends, they are united
with us in rejecting ourselves

We have one thing in common,
they hate us as much as we
hate ourselves; this bond binds
us forever; those who dislike us

Reflect our own feelings and I
feel a kinship to them - I love
it when they voice their anger
in vitriolic abuse, they do it

So much better than I myself
ever can; it makes them feel
better to get the ire off their
chest and I feel better

For receiving just punishment
for sins past, present & future,
I love my enemies for doing
their special duty

Informing me of my failings;
we share a quest for wisdom;
enriching my mind with the
shortcomings they find

Furthers my quest immensely!
