Respect



The way to be respected
Is to be respectful
And better than expected
Expecting to be
Your unexpected best to
Not give up on you

To live up to you and do
It respectfully
Of yourself and others who
Having seen you see
You come through what you go through
Unexpectedly

The glass half empty half full
In reality
The unexpectedness of
Our best for the rest
Of this opportunity
To know what we mean

We become successful when
We are connected
One with one another then
Having respected
Each of us as each other
Expecting the best

None beneath us nor above
One to one agree
Respect is not neglectful
Of humanity
Or what makes us human in
Our propinquity

In the mutuality
Of our having seen
Us through what makes us come true
What it takes between
Respect for one another
The true st test of love

The golden rule still says it best, and it all comes down to respect.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
