Life's Unwritten Rule

What is this life we live
That measures what we get
By what we give
Demanding we pay the debt
We've not paid yet
And giving notice
That forgiving with forgiveness
Is our best bet
Yet breaking life's unwritten rule
Is but a ticket back
To life's unforgiving school
The equation holds hard and fast
And justly guides any fool
Down the right path at last...
