What we do not know about respect

When you choose to give bow to men
Agree and recite these vows then
That you’ll adore first your own God
Before the crowns that are abroad
This is the first step to climb the laws of the ten

Before you esteem that brethren
Confirm this and say amen
That there is self-worth so awed
So when you see you, you’ll applaud
This, you’d serve yourself before you dish to Big Ben

Morning to the elders, don’t stern
Good noon to the kids, greet again
To neighbors, the ones even odd
Give them handshake and a few nod
Also in your essays the salute you should pen.
