What You Deserve

What You Deserve

you will what you deserve
in your mind
the past is preserved
people will act towards you
like you act towards them
and,
you will get what you deserve
from everyone’s judgement –
you are never exempt
if you think –
with so much arrogance
then you will receive contempt
you will get your pay
from the actions you do today
do not expect nothing else
when you treat people
like you treat yourself
you will get what you deserve
from the things you do
you will get what you expect
but very little respect,
it is just what you deserve


James Garratt – July 1995
