That Respect Poem by Francis Duggan

You cannot expect others to respect you
If you do not pay them the respect they are due
That respect is a thing that has two ways happens for to be true
It is something that has to be mutual and mutual at least includes two
Any respect to the one who disrespects you is something that you cannot show
This is something that does not need explaining and that most people does seem to know
Respect all who do treat you fairly the one you do choose to offend
Is the one who will never respect you or never wish to be your friend
Disrespect leads to bad feeling and war and never leads to harmony
It is hard to love one who insults you with this most would surely agree
Those you do not like for some reason why defame them in any way
For the wrongs that to you they do to karma some price they will pay
What goes around always comes around is something in i do believe
If respect is something you cannot give respect you cannot expect to receive
