Don't lie

Don't trick

Don't deceive

Don't manipulate

Be honest

Be courageous

Be smart

Don't change the truth

Don't twist the truth

Don't turn others away

Be set in your ways

Be strong for what is right

Be capable of good things

Be able to tell the truth

Don't forget what is right

Don't forget morals

Don't leave behind faith

Be loving

Be kind

Be straightforward

Be forthright

Be stern

Know truth

fall in love with truth

edify truth

keep truth

preserve truth

protect truth

for starling is the truth

Raw and uncanny

trusted and rugged

beloved and secured

Yes Startling is the truth

Stream of Consciousness
