RESPECT

Respect is what we should accord to all

We’ve no idea what makes another fall

We judge without awareness and are wrong

For every Soul on earth contains a song

2

That song is light to everyone who hears

But most to most turn only deafened ears

The gifts of God lie ignored on the earth

Most Souls fail to see most Souls’ true worth

3

A world of judgment is the sad result

Sharp tongues become purveyors of insult

Hurt feelings rankle and harsh judgments flow

And soon those judgments become all we know

4

Respect is better than this flood of pain

The world would be worth living in again
