Respect
Aretha sang, “R.E.S.P.E.C.T,” many years ago
Crying out for acknowledgement
Elevating women to a place of equality
Respect… not something earned
Rather something given
Respect… a word that brings life
Allowing for mutual understanding
Appreciating the value of one another
*
Many have died in confrontations with police
Black lives, Blue lives, and many more
Conflict and reactions bring escalation
Disrespect stirs the soul’s darkest response
Death and carnage often follow
How many would still be alive
If they had given R.E.S.P.E.C.T
