The Foe We Have To Fight '' Sonnet ''

I am not your foe, but ignorance is  
like a random shot, the darkness it hits  
and so learn the principles and their ABC's  
they soften the heart, they brighten the wits  
   
I am not your foe, arrogance can be  
like flying higher without any wing  
but, heed, if the truth of the sun blinds thee  
as too much pride hides the light as you sing  
   
I'll not be your foe, but your mindset will  
like shackles that pull you away from me  
and so you have learned to hold the quill  
nothing's thicker than ink of poetry-  
   
   
I' m your friend regardless of any claim  
any belief, any place, time or name
