point-making poem

[timepiececlock]

I'm passing this poem along from katiedack's LJ...


-Edward Jasinski-

Don't be afraid of your enemies
The most they can do - is kill you
Don't be afraid of your friends
The most they can do - is betray you
Those you should be afraid of are indifferent
They are neither friends nor foes
They neither kill nor betray
But because of their indifference
There are so many killings
and betrayals in the world

Well, I like poems. And I like showing other people poems I like. And I like poems that have a message without being overly...loquacious.
