NO ENEMIES by Charles MacKay

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas, my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done.
You've hit no traitor on the hip,
You've dashed no cup from purjured lip,
You've never turned the wrong to right,
You've been a coward in the fight.



This is kinda goofy, but it's an old poem out of a poetry book I've had since I was a little kid, and for some reason it popped into my head this morning... Just thought I would share (though a lot of people have probably already read it before)... I've always hated any kind of conflict, but I believe - like this poem states - that it is sometimes just necessary.
