I am he - the spy
I exist in a world
That is neither smoke nor mirror
I sully all that surrounds me
I am the man
Who cheats on his wife
I am the mistress
Who cheats with the man
I exist in a nether world
A place of shadows
Cast in a scene
That is concrete and grey
Yet though you will despise me
And yes, you should
Do not say that I betray
For I've never belonged.
"To betray, you must first belong. I never belonged." Kim Philby.

It is a fascinating perspective on a spy. I belong somewhere so horribly by this definition may be one.....on the other hand, I do not see how Nathan Hale, beloved spy in the Revolutionary War or the Spy of James Fenimor Cooper's book of the same name were such as you've just presented. But then again, I don't know. It is a very interesting consideration you've presented and I enjoyed it.
Thanks, glad that you liked it.
A great view on the Spy. I loved it!
