So Do Unto Others

Do unto others as you would like them do unto you A very old saying that remains ever true To hurt somebody's feelings deliberately is not a nice thing Far better the praises of that person to sing The gift of the gab is with those born to rule But some people with their words can be very cruel And some in their ways can be so very small If you cannot say good of a person why say anything at all Words can be so offensive when used in a cruel way And the mental hurt caused by them can remain with the offended one for many a day Words can destroy friendships and cause much offence So to deliberately hurt one's feelings does make little sense So do unto others as you'd like them do unto you And always give credit to where credit is due.
