Rules for Manifestations of Consciousness Consumed with the Illusion of Creation
Rule One:
Control Yourself.
Know where you are,
Know why you’re here,
Know the time,
Don’t be late-
Control yourself.
*
Rule Two:
Choose Wisely.
Be logical,
Be practical,
Be rational,
Don’t talk back-
Choose wisely.
*
Rule Three:
Happiness is Everything.
Talk about beer,
Talk about sports,
Talk about money,
Don’t run away-
Happiness is everything.
*
Rule Four:
The End is Near.
Run to a church,
Run to a mall,
Run to the movies,
Don’t ignore me-
The end is near.
*
Rule Five:
Believe in Nothing Else.
Ignore the artists,
Ignore the prisoners,
Ignore the loners,
Don’t think about it-
There is nothing else.
*
Rule Six:
Watch Commercials.
Think about your fat,
Think about your stench,
Think about your sex-life,
Don’t listen to your mother-
Watch commercials.
*
Rule Seven:
Take Pills.
Listen to newscasters,
Listen to doctors,
Listen to teachers,
Don’t trust yourself-
Take pills.
*
Rule Eight:
The World is Dangerous.
Trust the police,
Trust Microsoft,
Trust your psychiatrist,
Don’t have sex-
The world is dangerous.
*
Rule Nine:
Indulge Yourself.
Have more pie,
Have some coffee,
Have a cigar,
Don’t look over there-
Indulge yourself.
*
Rule Ten:
Pay Your Taxes.
Look at this new car,
Look at that tight ass,
Look at those big planes,
Don’t try to stop it-
Pay your taxes.
*
Rule Eleven:
I've Got the Biggest Gun in Town.
Try to win the lottery,
Try to make the team,
Try to pass the test,
Don’t do anything stupid-
I got the biggest gun in town.
*
Rule Twelve:
Trust me, It Will Be Okay.
Do your homework,
Do your banking,
Do what I tell you,
Don’t kill yourself-
And trust me. It’ll be okay.
*
