This is the simple truth about humanity of being ungrateful to one another. We have a double standard and you're right. In other words there is discrimination in social status, color or race, education, religion, ideology, etc. This is a nice one, well done. Thumbs up for you 10+

It is so true we apply different standards to ourselves than to the others. We judge quickly others but we are more relaxed when it comes to our proper sins. It is a real shame. You touched the subject that it is actual of every second of our lives. We spend lives on different reactions. Emotionally, we react to everything. We would have paradise on earth if everyone would do as he wants to be done to him/her. Very good poem!

this is the real fact of what we called civilized society and modern life. Take all you can have but leave nothing. It is very suitable to crictic man-made behavior since selfishness and individual value become core of up-to-date man character. I pray that i will not fall in that category but i know a lot of people out thare will not give anything for nothing. They alway come with terms and conditions and expectations. very well done. This is very details social critics poem and you are good on that. 10+ for this one. i like it

'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.' -is the proverb, a golden rule.The poem illustrates the contradictions in our daily life, and the consequences: 'What goes around, comes around.' We cannot be the God, but we can certainly try to go near him by continuously improving ourselves. Thanks Rajaram Ramachandran for your thought- proving comment.

The wishes to be an ideal man are welcome, but rarely we find one like this role model. A good poem to read.

Me want.. does not always get! Agree with Almedia here. WE live in a ME, MYSELF and I, society. WE need to humble ourselves and learn brotherly love and servanthood, one to another. Excellent poem; D

Yes. Double standards are rife the world over and that is certainly the cause of frayed edges in the fabric of human relationships. Your poem is a simple yet powerful treatise on self-introspection - the key factor in successful human relationship. A brilliant, thought-provoking write on something that is so badly needed today. 'On a scale of 10, ' I would 'undeniably' give it a 10.
