Mr. Golden and His Rule


I’m not sure how hard
this is.
I don’t get why it’s so
tough.
There’s always been a way
to behave.
I can’t help wonder where
it went.

Treat others as
you
would
like
to
be
treated.

It’s pretty simple.
I can’t imagine a simpler
message.
It’s just… so simple.

We teach it to children
and they grasp it.
Wide eyed and believing
and they get it.

We wrestle with it.
We resist it.
We think we’re better.
We think we know better.

I’m not sure how it got
so hard.
I’m not clear on when it
changed.
I’m unsure about the
evolution.
I think I miss my name.
