Fearful Adversaries


To have an adversary
who is afraid of you,
is this a blessing or a curse?

To strike fear
in the heart of an enemy,
is this really what you want?

To make an opponent tremble
at the thought of your name,
is this a weapon or a defeat?

A victory with only one victor
is never a lasting victory.
