No-one fed me respect <br />It was all for me to predilect <br />And was the blood flowing in my veins <br />It is now a natural demenour with no strains <br />No-one taught me respect <br />It was all for me to adapt other than neglect <br /> <br />As a toddler <br />With all respect no-one taught me how to walk, <br />As teenager <br />No-one taught me how to make sense when I talk <br />I did not drink it from any dam <br />I did not digest it from any book <br />I did not observe it from any wise man <br /> Because by birth I knew <br />That with esteem, comes self-esteem <br />That with respect, comes self-respect <br />No-one told me how to respect<br /><br />Anele TheAfrikanSon kaMthethungqongqo Potelwa<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tcepser-unscramble-the-word/
