Respect can be shown by doing small things
We can all appreciate the comfort it brings
Giving it is something only you can decide
What gets on the way is something called pride
People forget that others have feelings
Being rude and insensitive in their dealings
Choosing gossip over communication
Hurting others with their fabrication
The bullying that we see in schools
Makes us look like fools
This is not the way things should be
Instead we can opt for courtesy
Our differences do not need to lead into yelling
The way we handle ourselves is quite telling
Should respect be given only when it’s deserved?
Or should we focus on the peace preserved?
