.. Aint Disrespecting You


Ain't Disrespecting You
Ain't disrespecting you...
You get what you are due.
Re: Refer to, bear on.
Spect: To see, look upon.

Re-: again or once more...
That's no way to keep score.
Counting every slight;
Recounting with delight.

I spect you spect too much,..
High wishes, hopes 'n such.
So no spectacles make
Of ourselves. Gracious sake!

Re: what's respectable.
Be more amenable
To kind criticisms
Meant as witticisms.

Often in this regard...
You are too much on guard.
Re gard: to watch over—
And over moreover.

Your faith's based on fraud and
Deceit upon quicksand,
On blind belief relies
Plus lies on top of lies.

If you just knew what's right...
Now don't you get uptight!
You can't tell right from wrong,
So I'll help you along.

You prize lies, deceptions,
Falsehoods, fabrications,
Half-truths above the full
Four-square living gospel.

Oh, why don't you grow up?..
You spect me to shut up?
All your faults and failings,
Added to high-tailings!

I'm dissing you, you think!..
Could be you've got that right.
Disgrace, disgust, displease,
Dishonor... A disease!

But disrespecting you...
I ain't, 'cause you know who
And what you are as well
As anyone can tell!

A fool, so made by those
Who lead you by the nose!
Now git on outa here!..
Git me some money, hear?

Disrespecting! Stupid
You, spectin' what you did!
Awful sorry, henceforth
Disrespect you're not worth!

Oh! What can I expect?..
Guilty of disrespect
Myself? Let's all respect
For others not neglect!

Wendell Hall, 2009
