The Enemy

Like everyone I demand to be Defended unto the death of All who defend me, all the World's people I command to Roundabout me shield me, to Fight off the enemy. The Theory is if they all stand Banded together and wall me Safe, there's no one left to Be the enemy. Unless I of Course start attack, snap- Ping and shattering my hands On your invincible backs.
