Killing Mine Enemy With Kindness Poem by Richard Wlodarski

Killing Mine Enemy With Kindness

Rating: 5.0


I shall kill
Mine enemy
With such kindness...
I shall serve him
Water from the river of life
When he is dying of thirst
I shall feed him
The blood of lambs lost
Until Jesus Christ returns
And Satan is forgotten
I shall sing him
Hallelujah
Until his tears
Swell up with such love...
I shall present him
With the gift of light
Until the sun falls asleep
And the moon reawakens

I shall now taste
Enemy's blood
Awaken love
Strike with terror
I shall now kidnap
His wife and children
Send them to the land
Of soul liberty
I shall patiently wait
For his river of life
When dying of such thirst
And unspoken hunger

I will meditate
On mine enemy
Becoming a friend

So let me get this straight.. you are now going to try to reach Poemlist and tell them that it is all right to steal from you because you love them so. And they will fall down with overpowering thankfulness that you are able to forgive them so fully. I am afraid I will have to watch this with suppressed humour. Ostracism might be an alternative with less requirement for superhuman patience. I am not necessarily a bad person but I do have reservations.

Wes, I'm sorry, but I have no idea how you've come to this conclusion.

If we can convert our enemy into a friend, then it is a great achievement. A sublime poem that deserves top stars.
