About This Poem

Respect


Hold your tongue! Let not your youth
Show disrespect, or ignorance is bared
Speak only of the truth…
Or from the wrath of others, be prepared
Tis’ you will end up running scared!

    This is such a true statement, we tend to get carried away with our youthful desires which do tend to bring trouble through ignorance! And if you walk with others you might end up being frightened by what it is they exactly stand for and what could happen due to their own ignorance! This is a brilliant and intriguing write my friend! I really enjoyed reading this powerful message this afternoon! What a masterful piece, Great Work!!
