Know Thy Enemy Poem by Daniel Hooks

Know thy enemy

we are not just fighting wars.
We are creating revolutions in peoples minds
books dvds poems newspapers and images that shine
the truth like a beacon.
But the truth is dangerous
it might burn, it might scold.

landscapes and mindscapes that are the same as hearts
we are the territory of words and perspectives
that can change in an instant.
Words delivered on a knife edge
the most dangerous books are those that claim to be truth
specially delivered from God.
But its how they are used that makes them dangerous.
In the final fight our enemy
will be the so called truth and how its displayed
as millions follow and are swayed.
