Do Unto Others Poem by Francis Duggan

When Coleridge penned his great 'Rime Of The Ancient Mariner'
a thing of great beauty he did create
Suppose it does depend on the way you look at this literary classic but to karma the Rime to me does relate
The killing of an albatross only brought bad luck we sow the seeds of our karma good or bad every day
Do unto others as you would want them do to you that's how karma works and it's always been that way.

Do unto others as you'd want them do to you on how we treat other creatures or our own kind that apply
The mariner killed the albatross with his crossbow yet his co sailors were the men who had to die
Yet in his case the dead perhaps were lucky for he was made to suffer for his crime
In Coleridge's Rime the truth shines through the fiction it seems to happen in life all of the time.

Do unto others as you'd want them do to you and do not harm Nature's creatures just for fun
Some people talk of their rights to bear arms but only suffering and death comes through the barrel of a gun
Alfred Nobel the one who discovered dynamite for human achievements donated the Nobel Prize
When of the destructive side to his amazing creation late in his life he came to realize.

Do unto others as you would like them do to you and on your climb to riches and renown
Do not seek gain at the expense of others on your way up do not knock others down
Give and receive and always practice compassion and respect to others never fail to show
For every day we sow the seeds of karma and like they say we receive what we sow.
