Disrespect

On how we treat others we do have a choice
Like we have control over our tone of voice
For rude and insulting behaviour to pay there's a price
And most do seem drawn to people who are nice
Unless you are a masochist why otherwise pretend
The one who insult you cannot be your friend
You do not need as a pal one who to you is rude
Such type from your inner sanctum you should exclude
You cannot expect any respect if such you do not pay
For it is a thing that does not go one way
Like in all things of life respect you must give to receive
On such a philosophy i do believe
On how you treat others that is up to you
And for the disrespectful similar is their due.
