You Can Break Away [revised] Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Three in a row - gold-diggers and fortune-hunters stop,
take note, there’s karma in our family, my dad and his
brothers went the same way, your grandpa lost his new
house for the sake of his wife, my dad was taken in by
his brother-in-law, it’s a karmic account to be paid, you
are easy prey

Self-sufficient people with normal lives are whom you
seek in intimacy, not being caught by mercenaries who
stay only for monetary gain, my dad never stopped his
consorts helping others until he was broken - your fate
is written in the stars, we live on a plane of parasites,
refuse to give them entrance into your life

Anyone needing financial help can’t enter your life; events
indicate it is karma inherited from a great-grandfather who
knew no law in his life, you have to make your own policy
to deal with this, learn from history, know the important
thing: You can change your fate by acting differently -
especially thus you leave needy people alone

It is our fate to fall prey to parasites, make it a rule to only
deal with normal, competent, independent people, never
be involved in projects requiring YOUR money; never pay
another’s debts, no matter how much you love them – it is
to the disadvantage of both parties: the person you help
remains just as mean and needy as before and you don’t

Gain a friend – parasites are disgusted by those whom
they use, you CAN break away, quite a few of our family
members have managed successfully...
