THE GOLDEN RULE
[Welland Tribune October 25, 1943]
When the politicians plague us
And for party each may strive,
When new “isms” are propounded
Just to keep them all alive;
We’ve a thrill of satisfaction,
And it keeps our heads quite cool,
Knowing none can beat the ethics
Of the famous golden rule.
In the course of evolution
We our country’s welfare seek;
And perhaps into the future
We’re inclined to have a peek.
It’s a fundamental doctrine
Which we all were taught at school.
That the essence of good living
Is the old-time golden rule.
We may feel inclined for scoffing
And maintain it doesn’t work,
But its truth remains implicit
Though we feel inclined to shirk.
If we’d practice it more ofter
No false doctrines would befool;
And all nations would be happy
If we used the golden rule.
William McClure
