Respect

Everyone ought to be paid the respect to them that is due
But that some are not worth knowing happens to be true
The people who do not respect others and Nature by their deeds and the words they do say
Are not an asset to the World in any way
The praises of respect many may like to sing
But respect in itself is a two sided thing
Yes respect is a thing that must be shared by two
How can you respect one who does not respect you
Those who lack in the gift of respect do deserve sympathy
As they do lack in compassion and empathy
If you cannot say nice things of one why say anything at all
Though some people in their ways can be very small
When i say the disrespectful of the Human World are far more than a few
You may say to this do tell us what is new.
