Defense

When you are at a corner, back to the wall,

face to the world, your heels digging in

against the foot of the wall, you are gettin‘

ready to offence – it stands as your

last line of defence… right then you realise,

there are others ready to pounce on those

coming at you from your blindsides.

Nobody is your friend until they

defend your name in your absence.

Nobody is more cherished as that friend

who’s got you covered when you don’t see

those attacks coming at you.
