Aphorism

You abolished the golden rule 
No, this is not a lesson 
You would learn in school 
An assignment taught by life 
And that is treating others justifiable 
You have inverted 
My vitality...in a measure 
Meanwhile....you neglected
This earthen treasure 
Damn your remorseful regret 
You can find another 
Who will not attest 
To your womanizing and disrespectful ways
The treatment of your mate 
Was more than I could ever take 
So good luck to your next victim 
Soon they will understand 
Life with you can be deadly 
And will be begging for immunity 
Because of the unfortunate opportunity 
Of being in a relationship with you 
Sad to say it is only bad news
You never follow the golden rule
