All creatures deep inside are quite aware+
that it's the heart and, with it, its sweet beat+
only its never-ending flutter lets us share+
a bit of time upon this planet, where we meet+
so many creatures and, above all real humans+
who all do strive to stay as long as they're allowed+
they fiddle with their health and look at cardiac lumens+
and hope the gods remember what the sheep have vowed.+

There is a little thing that's often mentioned+
it does concern our interpersonal communication+
no matter, highly motivated or so well-intentioned+
it's what may make us give enough consideration+
to one small word, and that is, vaguely, called respect.+
Respect for the law+
and for Ma and Pa,+
for the crooked Police+
for Canadian geese,+
for the Judges and Preachers+
and for needlework teachers+
for the butchers and bakers+
and the skilled coffinmakers,+
for the nurses and +++++es+
and burglars and snitches+
for all druggies and whores+
and the owners of stores+
thus, the list could continue+
to a different venue+
but suffice it to say+
that respect is not play+
and it can't be demanded+
or delivered and handed+
against payment of gold+
no, respect can't be sold.+

If your heart can take care+
of necessities, bare+
you can use all your time+
to prepare and to climb+
'til you reach Peak Respect+
where you'll sit and reflect+
and look inside your mind+
where you possibly find+
in the tangle of nerve+
the respect you deserve.

Respect


______________

A shield to protect,
Not to reject,
A posession to shine,
Not to bind,
A valuable thing,
Not to spring,
A sign of honor,
Not to dishonor,
A humbling attitude,
Not to delude,
An important tool,
For life’s rule,
A cherishable key,
To all mysteries,
A reputated stamp,
Not to tramp,
Given from Allah,
To those who fear Allah,
Keep it safe,
Don’t let it escape!

This POEM is for real man! Really nice put words... some of the stanza were removed/replaced intentionally due to the policy of this forum and due to the RESPECT itself, as I found them inappropriate to publish on this forum!!

A real man with morals and principles would never abuse a lady
how can a man beat a woman and drive her to nothing but fear
gone are the days when a man treats a woman the way he should
not saying that there aren't men like that but honestly they are rare

How can a man LOVE a woman and then tell her that she is beautiful
yet when they disagree he is quick to slap her across the face
all my life I was taught that I should always have RESPECT for a woman
so if I should abuse one to my family I would be the biggest disgrace

Any man that would hit a woman to me is nothing more than a coward
have you ever considered that she is somebody's aunt or their mother
I would never condone a man physically abusing his wife or SISTER
I don't care who that man is it could be my best friend or even my brother

How would you feel if a man turns around and beats your only sister
I can imagine the threatening remarks or even the action you would take
you swear on your life that you would defend any female in your family
yet you hurt another man's family you are not a real man you are a fake

a woman's skin is so soft and her touch is so delicate and tender
and yet a man sees it fit to hit her this is something I can't understand
I am glad I can stand and say that beating a woman is ethically wrong
I could never hit a woman and this makes me proud to call myself a man

so if you are a man that beats your woman honestly you sick my stomach
how could you say you love her yet you destroy her beautiful features
I think men like you should be condemned to hell on judgment day
I'm asking the real men to join the fight against all women beaters
