Respect To It

Respect to it has more than a one sided way Do not expect the respect of others if respect to them you don't pay You treat other people as you'd like them to treat you And in turn they will give you the respect you are due You may be the wealthiest and most powerful person in your town And you feel that you have the right for to put others down And others respect you or so to you it does appear But between feigned and true respect the difference is quite clear Despotic leaders believe the masses them do revere But this sort of feigned adulation is adulation through fear To protest in such circumstance they'd be risking their own lives And the lives of their children as well as their wives If you do not respect then respect do not expect to receive Just a known fact of life that one ought to believe.
