The Invaders Poem by Barry Middleton
The Invaders
invaders have arrived
they do not hail from outer space
they are invisible
they walk beside us on the street
they are the multitude
they are not from a foreign land
the enemy is here
it lives within our human fear
the terror hides itself
behind the neighbor's silent wall
it cannot be contained
it waits for tyrants to arise
~~~~~
'We have met the enemy and he is us.' Pogo
Yes, we are divided by sports and politics. People have made enemies on Facebook and Twitter. It's time for us to come together.
The people I am talking about are not people I want to come together with. As for the government, I am not optimistic for any coming together there either.

It seems to be very easy these days to make enemies in all walks of life...but the ones you talk about I would not like to encounter....nicely penned Annette
Growing up in the south as I did, I have not seen a more frightening time than now in the USA.
