Who Has To Be Respected And Honoured? Poem by Ramesh T A

Who is really great to be respected and honoured in world?
One, who relies on natural justice, is broad in mind and
Magnanimous in heart and noble in spirit, is sure great
And for whom only high posts of honour all extend ever!

But the ignorant few close to such noble persons believe
That all honours to great ones are self purchased ever
And disrespectfully advise them to be humble and sure
Respectful to elders unable to digest their honours...!

Unlike the usual so called great personalities who earn
Respect and honours by paying encomiums to subordinates
Working in high places, the truly noble persons do great
Things for the well beings of all aiming honours never!

Natural respects and honours come to the charismatic ones
Who least bother about awards for their genuine services!
