Love Thy Enemy Poem by Dr Kamran Haider Bukhari

Love Thy Enemy



When Jesus said that
People mocked at him
I know
Reiterating these inimitable words
By my stuttering tongue
Would make you laugh at me likewise

Yet
I have to say that
Love your enemy
As you love your own-self
Self can be the worst enemy above all
Still you adore and pamper it
24/7

I think
It’s not that hard
To spare one moment
Of forgiveness and compassion
For your enemy
Who is nothing
But like your own flesh and blood

very divine write....awakening...very expressive piece a piece that pour lots of great thoughts of Jesus ethical teachings: Love those who despise us....a real expression of love... cleanse our heart from hatred... we must treat them as well as we treat people we like. We must be kind and respectful to them, put their needs before ours and must not treat them badly. for 'A soft answer turns away wrath.' (Prov.15: 1) ' a very wonderful share DR. Haider 10+++ _maia_

'Self' can be a very dangerous enemy who can do as much harm as anyone else....an uncontrolled and undisciplined self, will turn out to be our biggest enemy who can ruin our being.....its a nice piece here with lots of meaning, yes we all can try a hand at loving our enemy, like our own self! ! ! !

I liked this a lot 'Self can be the worst enemy above all/Still you adore and pamper it' and the deeper meaning of the poem. If only one did not have any enemies at all...including one's own self.
