Your Best Friend Today Poem by Francis Duggan

There has to be some truth in it one suppose
That the one without friends is the one without foes
It may be just a saying but would you not agree
That the one with many friends is not without an enemy
Your best friend today may be your future foe
A mere fact of life that happens to be so
Over money and love you can lose your best friend
With most humans self interest comes first why otherwise pretend
The one without a foe is one of a rare breed
Not many of her or his sort in the World indeed
And why even pretend since people are this way
That not everyone of you has nice things to say
Your best friends today may be your future foe
And even for you this well may be so.
