The Respect They Are Due

To your higher self you do not live as true If you cannot pay others the respect they are due If you find pleasure in your words of dragging others down You are not a asset to your side of the town Live and let live as the wise one does say A truism that remains as quite relevant to today If you cannot say something nice about someone say nothing at all Untruthful words have caused many a person's downfall That some people due to circumstance are in poverty happens to be so But everyone in life deserves a fair go Far too many being judged for their lack of material success So many are not very hard to impress Those who live to their higher selves are good people to know Since they have been blessed of the bright inner glow.
