You Have Enemies Poem by Sari Mavi

You have enemies?
Good!

Enemies are as good as friends
It sounds odd to equate enmity with friendship

Spare your indifference for the moment
Focus on the benefits rather than the burdens

Enmity springs from disagreement
You may disagree with others on principles

You could even part ways if the
Disagreement is not resolved

Everyone thinks he is right
Fair enough; everyone is entitled to an opinion

If for nothing else, enmity provides
Time for self-reflection

During the time you do not see
"Eye to eye" together

You have the opportunity to ask and
Answer the question is

What did I learn from this situation?
Use the time to make good your promise to

Improve yourself and to
Find an agreeable solution

You have enemies? Good
Enemies are as good as friends

That means you have stood up for
Something, sometime in your life
