the enemy

traducer
seducer
accuser
persecutor:
all those people i can be
when i follow
the wrong profit;

rebuker
quibbler
nitpicker
hairsplitter:
of all the faults
i spot so easily
in those around me;

croaker
complainer
grumbler
mumbler:
every time my life doesn't go
exactly as i asked God
to create it;

bellyacher
whiner
murmurer
moaner:
when everyone acts
as if it isn't all about
me;

i've met the enemy
and he is behind me,
pushing me
further and further

from you.
