Running Interference

RUNNING INTERFERENCE by: Acquah Vicki on Saturday, June 9, 2012 at 12:07am · RUNNING INTERFERENCE I have a brand-new glow. I am feeling free of these gremlins. Hoping to stay that way, it's called growth! Please feel free to feast off my soul food, and enjoy with me this journey. I will accept no invitation to your karmic party; and I cannot help you with the inevitable, No longer running interference. Neither will I be a catcher’s mitt - while you have the bat and won't swing. Interceding for your negative actions no more. You have generated a storm of deplorable deeds, out of concern I’ve nurtured your corrupted seeds. I have mended the wings of dirty birds to fly, there I wrongly stood in the way of your fate. Getting hit with your contempt as I warded off the hate. The universe held for you a lesson. To correct your mistakes. You will blame and throw tantrums and say no one loves you, and become irate. You will make everyone feel guilty, because no one feels to dance to that off-key tune. Though you move selfishly and have no regards for the wellbeing of others, I still love you. Only this time I have learned not to feed into your selfish needs; so, the only karma and lesson I am dealing with now is mine. To you I plead! When your storm is over and you've made your amends; come to me, Come to me, if you need an encouraging word, a bit of love, or a friend. I have learned my lesson never to interfere with someone else’s lesson; No matter how much you love them; No matter how you yearn to save them, your service becomes a disservice: No one wins, and no lesson will they have learned. So, I discern... Speak softly to the stars. Upon the universe, whisper a wish. My understanding is now clear, never interfere, with people and their karma; No matter how you love them, Be it relative or friend; in the end, you'll only hurt yourself and them! The result will be ... You'll only have produce another " spineless jelly fish “!
