Sonnet: How to Treat Others

The things you do to others must be fair,
Lists unfairness should boomerang you;
Your treatment must be one of loving care,
Lest God and Nature care not for you too.

If you are just to sub-ordinate staff,
You can expect a similar return;
If you do mix the grains with stones and chaff,
God will do you sometime the same in turn.

The kind of seed you sow, so shall you reap;
The land in which you sow, so shall it give;
A heart that’s dishonest must someday weep;
If cruel be, in cruelty you live.

Life’s logic is so easy to reason,
And it must be so in any season.
