Sonnet On Kantianism

The Categorical Imperative (Deontology / Kantian Ethics)

Act only by that maxim which you find,You would desire as a universal law,Let duty guide the actions of the mind,Without a hidden motive or a flaw.Treat every human as a sacred end,And never as a tool to reach your goal,On this strict bedrock you can safe depend,To keep the moral compass of the soul.Though consequences twist outside your hand,And good intentions lead to bitter tears,Upon the rock of duty you must stand,Untouched by fleeting hopes or sudden fears.The starry skies above may strike with awe,But grander still is man's internal law.
