Love Your Enemies Poem by Luz Hanaii

Love Your Enemies

Rating: 5.0


'Love Your Enemies', my brother said
and I began to live again...
simple words uttered by pure light
sent my thoughts to things above.

Yet when I saw those that rejoice in harm
approach me with venom in their hearts
I ran away to safer grounds,
to hide in his pure love that abounds.

I did not provoke, but feared their hate.
Again my brother said, to love
the poor that lacked his light,
to judge not their hearts.

I prayed they'd see your light
to come afloat from such darkness,
the confusion that false ego brings.
I prayed they'd feel your love.

It wasn't long before I saw them cry
tears of affliction and genuine pain,
righteous oppression brought on
by the source that purifies the souls.

In their anguish and pain I did not rejoice
but in the pureness that remained.

It is far from easy to love your enemies, as Jesus advised. Your brother spoke wise words to you.

It's a beautiful and true feeling about a hatred and bullish attitude and it made this poem so sincere and honest. I love the way how it ends because I do agree with the poet that nothing will go free without effect especially when people do so much evil deeds towards each other.
