Sonnet On Ethics

The Architecture of Good (Ethics)

Virtue is not a flag to wave aloud,Nor is it born of terror or reward;It is the quiet choosing in the crowd,To lay aside the self-defending sword.If justice only lives when laws compel,Then goodness is a mask that actors wear.True moral beauty weaves a deeper spell,Born from the empathy we choose to share.The golden rule is balanced on a thread:To treat the other as a sovereign soul,By filling up the spaces left by dread,And acting for the healing of the whole.For right is right, though stars should fall from grace,And leave no witness in the boundless space
