Start talking about what’s right

About the beauty of the night

Be bold, be smart

Be fair and be bright

Flee arrogance and ignorance

Flee anything that makes no sense

Flee anything that happens by chance

Flee anyone who makes no sense

Flee all types of lies

Flee all kinds of flies

Be conscientious, be impartial

Be just and be nonracial.
