Integrity
Do not fear the darkness son
the light will soon return,
Do not harbour evil thoughts
you may become undone,
Do not cry when made to bend
it's better than to break,
Don't be scared by of words of love
or scarred by words of hate,
Do not nuture bitterness,
keep faith with those you trust,
Do not covert others lives
or mistake love and lust,
Do not hide emotions
behind words that cause others pain,
Do not forfeit the truth
from such deeds you will not gain,
Be honest with your friends,
show respect to any foe,
but must of all my son, remember,
you may reap what you sow
