Emancipation Proclamation

Close your eyes
Open your left eye
Then your right eye
Count forward to one

Now close your right eye
Then your left eye
Count backwards to fifteen
Go past that number to sixty-eight 
  and then proceed  backwards to it

Open both eyes
And see the world 
In its totality
Count to twenty-nine

Open your heart 
You are now ready 
To conquer the world
Free at last!
