Love Your Enemies Poem by Luz H.
Love Your Enemies
'Love Your Enemies', my brother said
and I began to live again...
simple words uttered by pure light
sent my thoughts to things above.
Yet when I saw those that rejoice in harm
approach me with venom in their hearts
I ran away to safer grounds,
to hide in his pure love that abounds.
I did not provoke, but feared their hate.
Again my brother said, to love
the poor that lacked his light,
to judge not their hearts.
I prayed they'd see your light
to come afloat from such darkness,
the confusion that false ego brings.
I prayed they'd feel your love.
It wasn't long before I saw them cry
tears of affliction and genuine pain,
righteous oppression brought on
by the source that purifies the souls.
In their anguish and pain I did not rejoice
but in the pureness that remained.
Nice thought provoking piece of poetry, well articulated and elegantly crafted with spiritual insight. Thanks for sharing.
It is far from easy to love your enemies, as Jesus advised. Your brother spoke wise words to you.
Thank you for commenting, the brother I'm referring to is " Jesus" , he is the best.
True love is the key! ! Without racism! ! ! ! Love for all! The world needs peace. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
In their anguish and pain I did not rejoice but in the pureness that remained. // written beautifully
It's a beautiful and true feeling about a hatred and bullish attitude and it made this poem so sincere and honest. I love the way how it ends because I do agree with the poet that nothing will go free without effect especially when people do so much evil deeds towards each other.
