To Those Who Do Not Respect You

To those who do not respect you respect why should you pay
Since respect is not one sided or not meant to be this way
It is not a genuine respect the respect born out of fear
Though of fear imposed on others by those in positions of power we do read of and we hear
Respect through fear is not respect self preservation little more
What i say here by others has been said so many times before
Respect it is a mutual thing it cannot be otherwise
As respect in any other guise to dislike and mistrust gives rise
That respect begins with respect of self to everyone does apply
How this should be no need to ask as you should know the reason why
Some people find their pleasure on verbally putting others down
Yet they never do become the most popular in the town
But if they are open to insight they yet will come to know
That in life we do receive the fruits of the seeds we do sow.
