Dec 2020
he is a lover of the human race
any stranger always a friend yet to know
a ready smile a kind word
ready to help if he could
wishing no harm on anyone
but with it all
know this to be true and binding
if he ever loses respect for anyone
though there's always a slack given in peace and tolerance
but when that line is crossed
where even the basic mode of respect is unfathomable
for as humans we all owe it to ourselves
as the highest animal made in the image of our noble Creator
to uphold ourselves to certain standard
for mere civility cost the littlest of means and efforts
so when stupidity. crude, insensitive, uncouth or uncivility
appear hand in jaw with unreasoning, inconsideration and foulness
are geared towards another human or even to selves
then what differentiate us humans to donkeys or goats
to such as these
he looses respect, he looses respect, he looses respect
Its not about calling each others sirs, madam, or bow and scrape
its about lets be human with human ideals
so know when respect is lost
who gives a jot or even cares about the lesser human
what impact or influences are garnered from a donkey
apart from pity
or a simple mental dismissal
how can those who do not respect themselves
matter to me
I am human
not an ***......
