Respect Me

A poem about respect.

Respect me,

Every day

In every possible way

Respect me,

My feelings,

My thoughts,

My opinions

Because I am just like you;

We may not be the same

On the outside

But we are all made the same

I don't bother you,

So you don't bother me,

Respect me,

Then I'll respect you

Your words are simple and true. If we respect each other. The world would be a better place. In the end we all want the same. A warm bed, food and place for our family to be safe. A strong ending to a outstanding poem.

blunt and strait foreword and yet it has an elegance to it that makes you smile.

i think this poem is your most profound yet that i have had the pleasure to read. this can be so many things, but, of course, the first thing that comes to mind is the topic of gender, followed closely by the ethnic differences in people. this is absolutely wonderful! you have expressed in very concise fashion a very important issue with a huge scope. incredible! brilliant! kudos...

i feel like you took a powerful topic and idea and just sort of sat with it. i feel like emotion and anger and building could have spilled from this.

You over all thought and point holds water. We are all the same man is equal. in the end we would do best to respect one another.
