Why Should I Respect You Poem by Asit Kumar Sanyal

Why should I respect you?
If you talk like an advocate
Behave like a cobbler
Treat me like a bonded labour
And break your promise daily.

Why should I respect you?
There is a ‘give and take' policy
If you respect someone
Then only you can expect it
Respect has very high value.

Why should I respect a man like you?
I have many places to respect
My Parent, my teachers, elders
Administrative rules, traffic laws
Cultural traditions and many others.

Why should I respect you?
You don't deserve that quality
If you think, it's your basic right
Wrong, I respect you for protocol
From inside I hate you badly.
