The first commandment's easy, quite:
The majority is always right

Always think what folk will say
Side with the strongest, day by day

When in doubt, just shut your trap
Until you see for whom they clap
IV
Think what opinions you should hold
Alone, you'll be out in the cold

Don't give your lofty instincts rein,
But stick to what will bring you gain
VI
Tell people what they want to hear;
Move quietly through every sphere
(For truth brings sorrow on your head,
While daily lies earn daily bread)
VII
Never walk upright Sidle forth
And warm yourself at every hearth
VIII
Praise everybody to the skies;
A flock of friends will be your prize
(This in-group paradise will be
Your best insurance policy)
IX
Of gossip save up every bit
For your superiors' benefit
(But not a hint from the consumer
Should reach the subject of the rumor)

If you this last commandment heed,
Then your future's guaranteed:
Boldly espouse each cause in season,
But always act with prudent reason
Stride bravely forward in life's war
One hour before your timeno more!
