I will not be surveiled, by mechanical eyes in the sky.
I will not be weeping fake tears to help sell a lie.
I will not virtue signal to build a fake rep.
I will stay on the path, I will not make a misstep.
I will not make a promise that I can not keep.
If asked to sell my soul, I will cherish it deep.
I will not be silenced when I need to speak.
I will not respect any leader if I think they are weak.
I will not listen to nonsense being spewed by a fool.
I will not lower myself to be someone's tool.
I will not deny my Saviour for money or fame.
If I do something wrong, I will take the blame.
I will not begrudge others for what I don't have.
I will not use complacence as a balm or a salve.
I will not follow pied-pipers or be led astray.
I will honor my covenants, being true to God's way.
I will not leap before thinking, I will reason things out.
I will not speak hastily, casting aspersions or doubt.
To my own code of ethics, I will always be true.
I will not accept change put forward by Satan's crew.
I will not give in to despair, I will keep a stiff upper lip.
I will hang on to the rod, I will not lose my grip.
I will follow the teachings of my Lord and Saviour.
I will live a good life, eschewing all bad behaviour.
If I stay true to my heart and my vows are not discarded.
When I stand before God, will I be rewarded?
