To be spat on by an enemy
To lose a daughter's trust to one
To then join sides with one
This is no life to live
To make a bond
To a pound of flesh
To almost lose it
From ones left breast
In the court of law
From ones enemy
"Therefore lay bare your bosom"
What a wretched life to live
To be a marigold
In a field of roses
From which every soul
Holds there noses
And when wilted
To give whats left of mine
To a traitor
Deceiving ones flesh and blood
To a hater
This is a fate of which to wait
"Let the forfeit be
Nominated for
An equal pound
Of flesh"
This enemy of mine
Plots his vengance
With my own death
For I am a Christian
Who spat on a Jew
And I risk my life
For my loyalty true
I pardon thee
Thy life before
Thou ask it.
For half of thy wealth
It is Antonio's"
To call this mercy
Is more a sin
Than the act I had once
Committed to
Who is the villain?
Who is the victim?
Enemy os mine
Where dost thou stand?

- Title: Is my enemy villain or victim?
- Artist: Avian_Karma
- Description: A duel monologue base on Merchant of Venice. The two roles in the poem are based on Shylock and Antonio. Each charecter is done in differing print conventions so it is easy to tell who is saying what.
