the enemy

man...relax...breathe deep and then...
breather deeper still...
what are you fighting?
don't you know the more you fight,
the more fight you'll create...
you see...therein lies the trick...
created by an ever vigilant trickster...
he counts on the ease of your distraction...
as soon as you let your rage take dominion...
you've lost the battle,
because then, you won't be taking action...
you'll be forced into reaction...
and what is reaction but,
're' enacting the previous action that frankly
was designed to diminish the power you wield...
you wonder at my words, you think i'm crazy...
i know you do...
patience...listen as you've never listened before...
your rage is like a fog that envelops your senses...
your power is more than what is physical...
it stems from a place within...
this place is quiet, peaceful...
all is as it should be there and,
all the answers you need come from there...
all the answers are simple, obvious...
but you will be blind to them if you give in...
and what is giving in?
it consists of letting your rage run rampant...
the enemy counts on that...
and he counts on something more...
he counts on a traitor...
a traitor that knows you better than anyone knows you...
if you give in and let this enemy bait your rage...
a traitor will be born and the enemy will have won...
in turn...this enemy and the traitor that is you will shake hands and
become one...
you will become what you have been fighting...
the traitor will hence then become the enemy...
and the enemy will become...
you...
