Respectability

Respect enlivens us fully to the purse of delight,
Death endangers us fully, when lighting surrounds;
The way to salvation brings slants of disgust,
The opposition is a devilish crown, so much great work
Goes into it, after the crowns and deeds do fetch
Inside the food, so stomach is not ill,
Buttons smash, after smashing has subdued.
Respect happened for me when I was full,
Loathing me and my family, after the show.
