One Rule

If every single human on the face of planet earth
Chose not to mock or to down play another person’s worth,
If everyone lived strictly by the priceless Golden Rule,
All would smile, few would frown, no one would feel a fool.
‘Impossible’ you say, ‘for there would surely still exist
All the little insults, bar a swiftly propelled fist.
Doors would slam and breaks still jam, the middle finger fly,
All for inconvenience, the bothersome little guy!’
But I would here submit that we don’t have to lose our cool.
Simply think our way to do and say and live the Golden Rule.
If such occurred I do believe a miracle would take place.
Beasts would cease to live and thrive within the human race.
And that would make our presidents and governors think twice.
About running for an office if we knew they were not nice.
“The lesser of two evils” would cease to be the voter’s motto.
And everyone would get a share when a person won the lotto.
A “Zion Society” would exist upon the earth, though improbable the word,
And friendship would abound in places that once were thought absurd!
