Respect, Connect: A Short Poem on Human Connection

A short poem on belonging, respect, and human connection — boiled down to the simplest vocabulary, and the two words we keep returning to.

A small one. Boiled down to the simplest possible vocabulary.

This is real, I’m not gonna conceal

This is real, and I just wanna feel

A part of something I can be proud of

and Love; Respect, Connect

Respect. Connect.

The closing repetition is the whole point. Respect. Connect. Most of what we’re searching for collapses, eventually, into those two words.
