RESP.........

Yes Sir

By Arthur WaltonPublished 4 years ago 2 min read

What is respect? What does it entail in terms of your life and what it means; What it is to me is the most important thing you can receive from another human being.

Goes back for centuries far as how integral just getting this can be; Wars have been won and lost over how strongly people feel or see.

Been this way since man first stepped out of the shadows and in to the fray; Taking our rightful place on top of the world's food chain.

Just to be able to do that in any fashion means one important thing; That we as humans had earned enough respect to be King.

Being on top:means you are King and in charge of what goes as well as who is howcased;s So being in charge means leading all who choose to follow in my life which is prison bound.

Now that has meaning that you know from go where you will find yourself at some point; Hard to live in a life if crime and not get locked down in the joint.

Just an inescapable by product of being a member of a gang; It's like an unwritten rule when you join in and claim a set to bang.

That you will serve time in this lifestyle at some time and junction; If you was that naive kid joining up in then this be your 'This iis now my life' r introduction.

You will learn through a baptism of fire with on the job training; Only thing with this is that one mistake can leave your life waining.

In the balance, waiting on the big man above to decide to pull the strings; Could end up buried n ithe dirt or doing life in the pen.

All from a split second choice made on the fly, probably 5 seconds of time; That can leave you in the system for the rest of your natural life.

They throw that term natural in there to guarantee that you die in there custody; That way they get paid for you until the day you pass away, hopefully naturally not tragically!!

It's all about the Benjamin's for sure from head to toe; Whether it is the homeless guy in town or a fat cat trying to really blow.

Respect is a two way street where it is all bout taking and giving; Pertaining to what you want or might not have as well as for living.

Is more powerful than Mark Henry's strength and our countries combined; Is faster than an AR-15 R-15s bullet ired off without any kind of warning

Is wanted by everyone even a humble unknown monk from the Shaolin; From Achilles to Joan of Arc plus Bruce Lee to Beethoven.

All tried to obtain this even sacrificing their lives for the cause; Engaging with enemies truly believing the outcome does not matter as well as man's laws.

Without it there is no heir archy left especially the criminal underworld enterprise; There is only two things preventing a New World Order, fear and respect for the high ones.
