There comes a point in everyone's life when they reach
what I call an aging maturity, having done things in
younger days to cheat, ignore, treat others like they
don't matter at all.
Especially the last ten or so years where people have
started making inane rules at the corporate levels,
people having worked for years, loyal, dependable,
trustworthy, now being tormented and ridiculed.
Making them quit, that way companies don't have to
give them pensions, raises, nothing, these shallow
selfish people hurt their own employees and don't
even think twice about it.
When reaching an aging maturity they will think back
over their lives and remember with shame what they've
done to hardworking, loyal dependable workers, at the
time never giving a thought to how they will live.
Yes, when reaching an aging maturity, it definitely
will come back to haunt them, but by then it will be
too late for they've gone against morals and ethics
for the accumulation of money and power.
Now having to pay as their memories replay the cruelty
they have done to others, wouldn't want to be them, I'm
not perfect, but at least I've never done others wrongs
like that.
Yes! It is right to grow up positively with the works of the truth. Thanks for sharing.

This poem is built on your understanding of the Golden Rule: such a simple moral principle but so often ignored by the wolves in human disguise. No, that's unfair to wolves. Wolves live and thrive out of a core of unimpeachable integrity. As a Muslim writer put, animals are always doing God's will. But what an insult to God who graced us humans with freedom, for these businessmen to misuse their freedom by abusing power and mistreating their brothers and sisters. You abandoned your usual rhythms and word music to state this theme in plain language.
