The Rules
July 8, 2016
Speak your mind
But not your heart
After all, you don't know a lot
Hands out pockets
Bags all closed
To show you're not shoplifting clothes
Walk with purpose
No hoodies-steer clear
They automatically cause fear
"Yes ma'am, yes sir"
Eyes downcast
Don't speak unless you are asked
Accused, hurt?
Remember: have some tact
We tend to...overreact
Follow these rules
And with God's grace
Maybe, you will come home safe
