The Hate You Give

The enemy of my friend should be my enemy right? This is how the phrase goes.
We end up making an enemy of someone who doesn’t trouble our existence.
Some forms of loyalty should have a question tag. Do not see your mouths through the back of your neck, what good is it to the world?

The Montague’s and the Couplet’s fed hate. So Romeo and Juliet became late, an early arrival to the grave.
Be mindful what story you tell Emeka, lest he should come to detest Musa.
Are you all happy? Now that we are all casualties of war?
Don’t give evil a religion, or marry him a tribe.
Don’t attend this ceremony, or be the reason it thrives.
