Fidelity

June 15, 2014

Pledge allegiance to yourself

Without it, there is no sake

The walls are for nothing

 

To spark ignition, recognize yourself

and his self

and her self

and your self

 

Pledge allegiance to an ideal,

not an idea; to your favorite record,

to the fondest memory

To the hole in the wall

Repair that hole in the wall

before you repair all the others

 

Fix yourself

Face yourself

Beat yourself

Heal yourself

 

and then turn to the rest
