Under Attack Poem by Gerry Legister

I watched and listen well
I came under the relentless attack
Some offenders I knew, others I could not tell
Enemies aim the arrows at my back.

The chain of pain all the emotions start
Voices repel the state of inbred thoughts
Dislikes hides the poison claws in the heart
We hear only the faint whispers of certain parts.

Unpleasant attack made the days full of trouble
Life in particular is made up of evil and good
Who would have thought such things were possible
Seeing the enactment where you stood.

Under attack, life looks empty and bleak
Fear haunts every move you make
Nightmares in dreams make things creak
Into darkness each day the heart will awake.

The friends you once cherish are not so real,
They becomes the enemy in the gate,
With planed mischief mostly how to make you fall
They rise early when you think they are late.
