Earn the Others' Respect

M-en's given respect 
H-as to be ardently earned; 
A-sking is not an option, 
R-equest too is just burned.

M-an must learn to respect, 
E-arly eighth of September; 
M-aking someone's esteem
B-ig, great, and better: 
R-egard is highly special, 
E-ven utmost and perfect; 
V-ery good in your endeavor, 
E-arn the others' respect.
