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
