Respect - Day 17 of the Steemit school 100 day poetry challenge

Respect

Projecting your personality?
well, let it not be a blown up entity
life will judge you by your demeanor
not by what you profess, my dear Sir

Society has many a soul
which does have a pomp but beneath, a foul
it is good if you can see through them
and avoid a mayhem

Respect is earned over the years
when behavior is judged by peers
money cannot buy many a thing
and it certainly cannot make a donkey sing

Learn to look beneath the facade
and you shall save yourself from the pied piper's parade

entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)

I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
