The Power of Stepping Away
THE POWER OF STEPPING AWAY
The domino effect becomes life's precept,
Living as a defect but failing to detect
the curse effect of your clan and sect,
how it persists from generation
to generation
and your lineage suffered the god's vexation.
You failed to comprehend the chain reaction
due to one event setting off life dent
and a series of related, connected events.
Prayers in the mountains couldn't end it.
Lighting candles couldn't quench it.
Burning sages couldn't choke the demons.
Life wouldn't change despite the sermons.
Bathing in Rivers couldn't wash it away.
Searching & wondering like a dog at stray,
But your life and your seed are at stake.
This generational curse you must break!
But how? This, your progenitors will always ask.
The answers, are plausible but are a Herculean task.
Combine the force of mystery
to confront your life's misery.
Prayers will do but don't be a fool,
Be wise to scheme your way through
BY STEPPING AWAY FROM YOUR ROOT
and re-root by starting on a different note.
Step away from what binds you with the past,
Step away from the old ways you held-fast,
Step away from what makes you no longer steadfast.
Step away from your colony of outcasts.
It is quite better to be a half cast
till you are fully cast afresh to enjoy a blast;
Step away from your title of being called the last,
...from what connect you with the rest of the cast,
...away from darkness into His marvellous light,
away from the blurry confusion into sharp insight.
The secret is in THE POWER OF STEPPING AWAY
so that the plague will stop without delay
and those after you will be liberated all the same
because you STEP AWAY & stopped the cursed flame.
