Getting Our Respect Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

There's a saying posted here at the Hideaway on a sign,
it states: 'There are no strangers here, just friends
we haven't met yet'.

A great sign for America for that is basically the way
we are, accepting everyone from every nation, as long
as they come here legally without intent to do us harm.

All of humanity has been created equal and we believe
that, yet we expect everyone to accept that this is our
country.

Everyone needing to respect that fact, speaking English,
following our laws, being morally and ethically positive
when here and then you will get the respect you deserve.
