Medium Poems

The Golden Rule
Do unto others as you would have them do
Respect and kindness are virtues true
Treat each person as a sacred being
For love and compassion are worth seeing

Honor each other’s unique path
For diversity is what makes us whole
Show empathy and lend a hand
For living in harmony is the ultimate goal

Let us not judge or discriminate
For we are all equal and great
May the golden rule guide our way
And bring peace to our world every day

The Power of Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of our soul
It’s the core of our being that makes us whole
It’s honesty, loyalty, and truthfulness too
It’s doing what’s right, no matter what we do

Integrity is a compass that guides us through
In the face of adversity, it shows us what to do
It’s a source of inner strength and resilience
That helps us overcome any challenge or hindrance

Integrity earns respect and trust
It’s a virtue that’s valuable and a must
May we maintain our integrity in every way
And let it be the light that shines on our way

The Seeds of Compassion
Compassion is a seed that needs to grow
In every heart, every soul, high and low
It’s a quality that empowers us to care
To see the beauty in others, and be aware

Compassion is the bridge that connects us all
It’s the bond that makes us rise when we fall
It’s the kindness that heals a broken heart
And the love that ignites a new start

Nurture the seeds of compassion within
Water it with generosity and let it begin
In everything we do, let compassion shine
And create a world that’s truly divine.

Long Poems

Ethics

Morality, the cornerstone of humanity,
Bound by ethics, virtues of sincerity.
The distinction between right and wrong,
Dictates how we live all lifelong.

We strive to be honest and fair,
With integrity, we show we care.
Accountability, a solemn duty,
To act with prudence, not beauty.

Justice, the scales that balance,
To treat all equally, without any chance.
To respect others, a fundamental rule,
To empower and never to ridicule.

Compassion, the kindness towards all,
To help those in need, catch them when they fall.
Empathy, a virtue not all possess,
But the goodness of heart, we must address.

Wisdom, the ability to discern,
To know what is right, and the right way to learn.
To act with thought, not impulsively,
To ensure a future that’s more positively.

Courage, the strength to stand up for what’s right,
To fight for justice, even if we’re not in sight.
To have the courage, and to never sway,
And keep our morals intact, every single day.

And finally, Trust, the foundation of relationships,
The responsibility to keep our promises.
To build on the honesty and integrity,
To develop relationships, based on dignity.

Let us all hone and cherish these virtues,
And shape a society that’s more true.
Where people are treated justly,
And the world is filled with love and honesty.
