RESPECT


 Respect is reciprocal, so say the proverb;

Meaning if you give respect, you get it back.

How I wish to know the originator,

To give answers to my numerous questions.


Elders treat it as a mighty virtue,

Youths treat it so carelessly than I thought

What can be done to avert the rate

At which it is diminishing today?


Give honors to whom they are due;

Also encouraged and adviced by the scripture

But what can be done to this pervert generations

 That keeps turning the scripture upside down?
