Respect (Actions Go A Long Way)

True respect
In society
Is not and
Never will be
Taught
Through fear
And/or
Intimidation
True respect
Is taught
Yes it is
Truly earned
By showing
That respect
And not
Lowering
Yourself
To anger
And hate
Bottm line
You want respect
Show it
You want to teach it
To your children
Then show it

To them and
To others
In front of them
As often
As you can
And see if
That doesn't
End up
Being one
Of the lessons
Taught by you
They actually
Bother to
Remember
Just remember

Actions go
A long way

So ask yourself
What are your
Actions
Really saying
