Ode to the Enemy by Ink Soul

The real enemy hides in what we say,
It grows inside us, day by day.
It turns our hearts to shades of grey,
And steals our inner peace away.
So let us cast that dark away,
And call the light to lead our way.

Deep inside, they like to stay—
Anger, Pride, and Greed hold sway.
Attachment clings, Hate leads astray,
These hidden foes can cloud your day.

Anger burns like fire's ray,
It blinds the heart, it blocks the way.
Let it go—don't let it stay,
Choose calm and peace, don't let it sway.

Pride stands tall and will not play,
It shuts the heart, keeps love at bay.
But humble hearts will never fray—
In kindness, strength will never sway.

Greed will grab and never pay,
It drains your soul, it makes you stray.
But share with joy, don't lose your way—
A giving heart will light your way.

Attachment holds and begs delay,
It traps your wings, won't let you sway.
But let it go, be light as clay,
And peace will gently come to stay.

Hate is cold and dull as clay,
It darkens skies, turns bright to grey.
But love can drive that dark away—
A heart that sings will never sway.

Anger eats the heart away,
It makes the light and joy decay.
Pride will push your soul astray,
It blinds the truth, won't let you pray.

Greed will steal your smile away,
It paints your dreams in shades of grey.
Attachment makes your spirit sway,
It holds you back when skies turn May.

Hate will make your hope decay,
It cuts the light and dims the day.
So look within, begin to pray—
Let kindness rise and lead the way.

Inside my heart, I find the way,
Though anger comes to make me stray.
Though pride may call and greed may say,
'Take more, want more, don't walk away.'

Attachment ties, but I won't stay,
Hate may knock, but I won't sway.
If I let go, then peace will stay—
A gentle soul, bright as May.
