from LEAVES OF GRASS (by poet Walt Whitman)
This is what you shall do:
Love the earth and sun and the animals;
Despise riches;
Give alms to everyone who asks;
Stand up for the stupid and crazy.
Re-examine all you have been told
at school or church or in any book;
Dismiss whatever insults your very soul;
Your very flesh shall be a great poem.
