Do unto others with an open heart and mind,
But keep your fingers crossed,
Behind your back,
Let empathetic charity be at the forefront of your mind,
But expect everyone to be,
A greedy twat.
The choices you make are easy to change,
But choices you give don't fake,
And promises you take,
Sometimes are reneged,
But the promise that you make,
Don't break.
Turn the other cheek and don't retaliate in kind,
But the again,
It's probably better just to duck,
Be a Good Samaritan who won't let others fall behind,
But don't get pulled down,
And trodden in their muck.
The choices you make are easy to change,
But choices you give don't fake,
And promises you take,
Sometimes are reneged,
But the promise that you make,
Don't break.
Be considerate, compassionate, and listen to all sides,
Watching the glint of sharpened knives,
Laying in wait,
Choose your words respectfully,
With dignity at all times,
And be prepared for base rhetoric of hate.
The choices you make are easy to change,
But choices you give don't fake,
And promises you take,
Sometimes are reneged,
But the promise that you make,
Don't break.
Let fairness guide your hand,
Your honesty be unimpeachable,
But there's nothing more believable than lies,
Let all your plans be clear and demonstrably feasible,
Yet the wow factor's all pie in the sky.
The choices you make are easy to change,
But choices you give don't fake,
And promises you take,
Sometimes are reneged,
But the promise that you make,
Don't break.
The choices you make are easy to change,
But choices you give don't fake,
And promises you take,
Sometimes are reneged,
But the promise that you make,
Don't break,
The promise that you make,
Don't break,
Promises you make,
Don't break.
