Look: your enemies
don’t linger outside waiting
while you are sleeping.
They’re not some hungry spirits
hoping to catch you napping.
We create Other
without even trying hard,
with just random thoughts.
Evil isn’t created
without our mind’s assistance.
The world mirrors us:
our fears, desires, compulsions,
imagined control.
So long as there is winning,
we are all destined to lose.
