Leaving This to Get With That Is What's Up

This is what's up.
If others you meet are treated with respect...
They are given every reason,
To return a similar deed.

If on the other hand...
Familiarity causes one to loosen lips,
As if a sailor disgusted with chores on a ship...
This behavior is not headed towards,
A long lasting and beneficial relationship.
The ending anyone can predict!

And questioning the reason 'why' there is a split?
Someone unconscious just didn't get it.
And leaving this to get with that,
Is what's up...for those who have had enough!
