Keep At a Distance

K-eep at a distance, 
Y-ou must be on guard; 
L-et your life go on, 
E-arnestly move forward.

L-et your mind keep at a distance, 
A-s you maintain a reserved attitude; 
C-hoose to think quietly alone, 
U-ntil things change for the good.
E-arly January twenty-second, 
S-tay aloof from the bad chance; 
T-imes these days are perilous, 
A-im to keep at a distance.
