Respect For Others

having people know

how you really feel

can end up getting hurt

if the other person really feels

that all the violence is needed

how many people do you really know

that have respect for others

and that it really shows

i am changing my ways

because i used to not care

but this one person i know

had showed me a different way

and i respect that person

and i love that person so

it happens to be my brother

and he knows how things go.

Deep human respect

means a lot more than the gangsta use of the word, which only means fear. A simple and very true poem. I wish everyone could learn the true meaning of respect. You have helped. cheers, Jess wishing you a Salubrious Solstice
