Parasites

Beware of dare damsels who come around 
When you have enough and abundance
You notice their presence
Only when they want from you
They serve you 
Only when they get from you
She makes you happy and fulfilled
But the reason is your materials
Pray or pretend you have no more
And you will never have seen 
Such rejection and desertion
So let no one enslave and capture you
For you may become unbalanced
When you have nought.
Now that money is more than love
They look for the enormous 
No matter how little
Be vigilant as sycophants are every where.

very well written, sad but true that many people are like that, the only color that matters is green, but I've always been a beetles girl in thought, all you need is love, good poem
