SACRED RULE

Innocence lost,
With the passing time,
Has turned our world,
To hate and crime.

War and famine,
Fear and shame,
All these things,
Again and again.

Through the past,
One must learn,
The sacred meaning,
Of God’s words.

Love thy self,
Love thy neighbor,
Love for one,
And always,
The other.
