RESPECT
Give respect to whosoever it's due,
Not everyone deserves it but a worthy few,
You can't go around disrespecting people because you can,
You can't go around caring less because you're not a fan.
Time will come when it would be your turn to demand respect,
A time when your life would have taken a whole different aspect,
What then would be your point of concentration?
Physically demand for it or earn it through your action?
The same menu you dish out to people would be served back to you,
You can't continue to dish out attitudes and expect not to get it in return too,
You are either on the safe side of life,
Or found to be living life at the end of the sharp edge of a knife.
Respect is sacred,
Just like the adage of laying your bed,
Respect might be optional to the ignorant few,
Until their turn arrives to be paid their worthy due.
