This poem is inspired by my blog post ‘Timeless Ethical Frameworks from Ancient Philosophies‘. You can find the full post here:
We’ve wandered through centuries, asking the skies,
What makes a good life? Where does true meaning lie?
From temples, scrolls, and whispered prayer,
The answers rose from everywhere.
Socrates asked, “Know thy soul,”
While Buddha taught, “Let go, be whole.”
Confucius carved a path through duty,
And Laozi bowed to nature’s beauty.
The Greeks sought truth in thought and form,
Where logic stood and minds were born.
The East spoke soft of flow and grace,
Of oneness found in time and space.
Egypt drew maps to worlds unseen,
Where order reigned, and death was clean.
Persia lit its fire of light,
To battle dark with sacred right.
Through every land, one thread runs through:
The search for good, the path that’s true.
To live with virtue, calm the mind,
To love, to question, to be kind.
They asked not just what stars are made of,
But how to serve, and whom to love.
Not how to win, but how to be, At peace with life, and soul, and self.
Though empires fall and ages fade,
Their ancient truths still softly stay—
Not trapped in books or cloaked in dust,
But walking still, in all of us.
