I know it's incendiary, but so long as the press is free, I gotta make the statement.
I Am Your Enemy
(A Proclamation To You-
Know-Who)
Know This:
I am your enemy.
I have to be.
You leave me no choice.
You stand opposed to everything that matters to me.
You make the world up as you go along.
You do your best to bring out the worst in everyone,
And you've generally succeeded, myself included.
I must resist you;
It is a moral imperative.
If I can thwart you in any way, however small,
I will.
I will never grant you the least allegiance.
I know you don't care,
But I state it anyway,
And I know I'm not the only one who feels this way,
So this "I" is really speaking for an Us.
So again,
Know This,
And feel it for the Truth it is:
To my dying breath,
I am your enemy.
You left me no choice.
