Unto Others Poem by Ezio Olubelleau

Ecstasy, or what not,
Shot a man in the head.
"Pow! " — When will you learn
To do unto others,
As you would have them do?

Come to think of it:
Moses climbed the mountain.
They called him a fool.
Noah touched the dry land,
And there was carnage.

Prophets bore the burden
Of the prophecy they begot.
Hope, born from ruin—
David sang of mercy,
And they crowned him king.

Ecstasy, or what not,
Shot a man in the head.
When will you learn
To do unto others,
As you would have them do?

Noah touched the dry land,
And the birds flew to nowhere.
