Measure out your mind
Pour it through a sieve
Pour it again
And yet again.
Filter out non-sequiturs
Except those that are funny.
Distill clarity,
The purest thought.
Leave behind hatred,
Leave out muddy thinking.
Stop grubbing about in foolish quibbles,
Stop qualifying your prejudices.
Stop excusing your mistakes,
Stop justifying the inexcusable deeds of others.
Recognize Truth.
Recognize the Good.
Roll up your sleeves.
Drink that draft.
Get to work.
Restore! This! World!
