Respect, and its significance

Respect can be defined by simply stating
"I shall acknowledge what you believe, no matter what I think."
It can be perceived differently as well
Notions can change whilst thinking of respect
One may think respect is shaking a hand
Saying hello to the passing neighbor every morning
But respect contains much more than just a handshake
More than just a simple blunt hello.
Does it not, or did it not mean to listen to both sides without interruption?
Did it not mean to show it while in a conversation?
Respect is lost as time passes
It is seen daily, hourly
The more it is seen, the less that the word really means
It is as if it feels, useless
Respect was that moment when an elder was speaking, and you wouldn't bump out of line
Respect is in coincidence affiliated with love
Love should be mutual, and in that mutual agreement, respect must live upon it.
If there is not respect
Then love ceases to exist
Respect.
Realize that it means more than just words
Expect it whence you have shown it
Salvage it when it indeed fails to reappear
Perform it with those around us
Excitement should fill your eyes, glee should fill you when you feel it
Concurrence of the event will satisfy your desires
Total felicity can come from respect
It is as if the word, along with love
Have lost their meaning
And sadly, respect is a thing of the past
A thing, as if it were nothing more than a spec in this life
Where instead of waiting for a word to emerge from the others mouth
We scoff and walk away without even uttering a farewell
Where respect ends
Unpolished manners await

respect

To those awake at this time of night
Enjoy the thought
Critique it
Do as you please
Just be respectful

Goodnight, and sweet dreams to those reading tonight
Those morning readers, I shall post more later.

Have a wonderful Saturday.

Saturday
