Poem
RESPECT
By: Don Wilson
Respect is a lesson that everyone should learn
Respect must be given before an expected return
Respect is something that’s given for free
Respect is about us and never about me
Respect is the basis on which relationships are founded
Respect is the anchor that keeps a person well grounded
Respect builds the character and defines who we are
Respect sets the standard and raises the bar
Respect is magnanimous and helps to fulfil
Respect is the partner that sits with good will
Respect is like honey so sweet it’s perceived
Respect a taste to savour for when it’s received

Song Lyrics
"RESPECT"
By: Aretha Franklin
(oo) What you want
(oo) Baby, I got
(oo) What you need
(oo) Do you know I got it?
(oo) All I'm askin'
(oo) Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Hey baby (just a little bit) when you get home
(just a little bit) mister (just a little bit)
I ain't gonna do you wrong while you're gone
Ain't gonna do you wrong (oo) 'cause I don't wanna (oo)
All I'm askin' (oo)
Is for a little respect when you come home (just a little bit)
Baby (just a little bit) when you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
I'm about to give you all of my money
And all I'm askin' in return, honey
Is to give me my profits
When you get home (just a, just a, just a, just a)
Yeah baby (just a, just a, just a, just a)
When you get home (just a little bit)
Yeah (just a little bit)
------ instrumental break ------
Ooo, your kisses (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
And guess what? (oo)
So is my money (oo)
All I want you to do (oo) for me
Is give it to me when you get home (re, re, re ,re)
Yeah baby (re, re, re ,re)
Whip it to me (respect, just a little bit)
When you get home, now (just a little bit)
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take care, TCB
Oh (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
A little respect (sock it to me, sock it to me,
sock it to me, sock it to me)
Whoa, babe (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
I get tired (just a little bit)
Keep on tryin' (just a little bit)
You're runnin' out of foolin' (just a little bit)
And I ain't lyin' (just a little bit)
(re, re, re, re) 'spect
When you come home (re, re, re ,re)
Or you might walk in (respect, just a little bit)
And find out I'm gone (just a little bit)
I got to have (just a little bit)
A little respect (just a little bit)
By: Aretha Franklin

Critique
Critique of Flag by Jasper Johns
by Eric Tilden
Published: 2009-05-27, Wed 08:59:10
Jasper Johns, who has produced art in a variety of genres, including Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Dadaism, and Pop Art, created an awesome representation of the American Flag called simply Flag in 1930. It is made out of encaustic, which is hot wax, oil paint, collage on fabric mounted on plywood.What I like about this piece, first and foremost, is the rendering of the stars, how accurate and precise they are, and how evenly spaced! The stripes are equally sized as well. Upon close inspection of the piece of art, you can see the texture of the hot wax, which resembles thick areas of paint. You can see areas of imperfect discoloration, which can be interpreted as some of the imperfect parts of American History and society.It is overal a simple piece, that must have been very complicated to accomplish, working with hot wax in all. The piece falls under the category of Pop Art, which is just about anything that is created around popular items. A great, yet simple piece.
