Respect Poem by Koena Mokoena

I want to thank my parents, siblings, relatives, friends & grandparents,
who have taught me respect.
I am a bit paranoid, when it comes to disrespecting my elders.
I am looking for somebody who will respect me.
I am not into ladies, who doesn't know how to behave in society.

This is a fact, because i was not raised to disrespect the elders.
I was raised to exhibit the spirit of humanity.
I was raised to greed the elders, because they have raised me to be a man.
A man who will treat a woman with respect & dignity.
I won't tolerate, being treated like a boy in society, instead of being respected.
I am a man with sense of humour, hence i am supposed to be respected.

I was raised like a prince, hence i'll never be intimidated.
In other words i am looking for a princess.
I want to make my parents, siblings, relatives, grandparents, friends & my society proud.
