The Goodly Rule*

 

Nature has a Plan

a bit part of it

is (Wo)Man
 

Other Species

not a few
 

have a right

to be here

too
 
*
 
If that is

mostly

understood
 

most everything

is

good

 
but when we

think we’re

IT
 

and Nature’s

but a

Tool
 

She sends us

wailing

back to School

 
to Relearn

The Goodly Rule
 
*
 
Imperil None

(wo)man nor

beast
 

but share

her ample

feast
 
*
 
but if we

that solemn

trust betray
 

in all due

and dire

distrait
 

She will

(with nary a

mournful tear)

.

cast our kind

away
 

* Ahimsa, (which I term The Goodly Rule), stands for Non-Violence
