Like everyone I demand to be <br />Defended unto the death of <br />All who defend me, all the <br />World's people I command to <br />Roundabout me shield me, to <br />Fight off the enemy. The <br />Theory is if they all stand <br />Banded together and wall me <br />Safe, there's no one left to <br />Be the enemy. Unless I of <br />Course start attack, snap- <br />Ping and shattering my hands <br />On your invincible backs.<br /><br />Bill Knott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-enemy-2/
