ENEMIES LIST

I have to keep my eye on Enemies List
I have to protect the book that houses the names of those that must be sought.

And I need to ensure that the names, the histories, the whereabouts of my nemeses are kept current to counter disinformation and dirty lies.

I must make sure that the enemies themselves are kept whole, unscathed, and intact. I must convert resources, if necessary, to conserve my adversaries.

No one may lay a hand upon my opponents, old and new.
No one may touch my rivals
until the time is right.
