Disrespect

On how we treat others we do have a choice Like we have control over our tone of voice For rude and insulting behavior to pay there's a price And most do seem drawn to people who are nice Unless you are a masochist why otherwise pretend The one who insult you cannot be your friend You do not need as a pal one who to you is rude Such type from your inner sanctum you should exclude You cannot expect any respect if such you do not pay For it is a thing that does not go one way Like in all things of life respect you must give to receive On such a philosophy i do believe On how you treat others that is up to you And for the disrespectful similar is their due.
