Always know This:
Your friend and your enemy
Have one thing in common:
Their weakness is stronger than your strength.

Never underestimate
The strength of a person’s weakness –
The only thing stronger
Is your own weakness in its uniqueness

Because weaknesses know themselves –
They may deceive our strengths
But our weaknesses see through themselves
And become the protector of our strengths

For this is our deep fall:
Our strengths are weak
And our weaknesses are strong
As we continue our Redemption to seek.
