As You Would Like Them To Treat You

Treat other people as you would like them to treat you
And pay them the respect that to them is their due
If you cannot give respect then respect do not expect to receive
A truism from the past that is not hard to believe
Some people in their thinking seem rather small
Their idea of a fair go is only a fair go for some and does not include all
The one who treats you as an equal you wish to have as a friend
That respect wins respect why otherwise pretend
Money is the main cause of inequality in the Human World of today
And this does seem a sad thing for to have to say
But death is the equalizer as is often said
We all become equal when we are dead
So you should treat other people as you would like them to treat you
And pay them the respect that to them is their due.
