Recognition
We crave recognition
Because it's our mission
To gain admission
To G-d's acquisition
The problem starts
When outside our hearts
We look to the charts
Others to outsmart
Peer within
You'll soon begin
To know wherein
Lies true linchpin
Of the worth of your deeds
Sort the flowers from the weeds
To grow the seeds
That goodness breeds
Then, will no longer
Ye seek yonder
Desire 'n hanker
Respect 'n honour
True satiation
Comes from good occupation
Self-examination
G-dly communication
With self-respect
You'll not be subject
To feeling neglect
From peers' reject.
With behaviour exemplary,
Love and empathy,
You'll experience redemptory -
Life's true nectary
