A Truism From The Past Poem by Francis Duggan

A truism from the past that remains a truism today
Live and let live as the wise one did say
Where respect is due respect you should pay
And never harm anyone in any sort of a way
Without seeking reward a good person performs a good deed
And on so doing for future good karma does plant the good seed
Live and let live to all ought to apply
The right to a fair go of anyone never deny
On your climb on the success ladder to wealth and renown
Never in word or deed drag anyone down
Some people to help those in need of helping go out of their way
Kindness begets kindness seems true to say
For to receive in life they are willing to give
The people who believe in live and let live
