Respectfully Disrespectful Poem by Hans Raj Sharma

To give and take
Brings love, peace and harmony
Progress, growth and prosperity.

Civic-people do respect others
As they wish to be done by
Mutual regards is a tonic
For a healthy society.

A trait inborn and inherent other than
Some claim to foster and inculcate-
Rather, it's natural to all living beings.

Lowest is always polite and graceful
Rich and powerful defy more or less
As power and wealth corrupts a man
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Cruelty changes entire behaviour-
Both, negative and positive coexist
As minus is plus and plus gets minus.

Balance is proportionally disproportionate
Since, each individual is not a hypocrite
As it appears respectfully disrespectful.
