Love the country and the people…
Forget the flag- idle nothing.
Feel the names on the wall…
and make meaning out of nonsense.

Be frank and speak to the ear that might be offended.
To hell with the ‘side-takers’
And be ‘open-minded’ and stay in the middle.

If one shouts at you – shout back and…
bite their lips so hard so their lips become knotted.

Complain when you don’t vote… you have that right.
Down with the Pope and the so-called gospel preachers.
Down with the churches – for they are temples built by the hands of man,
and God doesn’t want you to worship there.

Down with racism… the crosses must go too.
Carry the cross in your heart and hate no one.
If acts of violence must be carried out to defend yourself… or,
your point of view, or the people who care about you…
then do so… then, ask for forgiveness.

Set a timer for the city to close.
Close the gate and guard the boarders.
Lock your doors and windows and just stay home.
