Kikuvi

In a world where pride did reign,

Kikuvi stood, a man of gain,

But blind to the truth, he forged ahead,

Disrespecting others, his path he tread.

With arrogance as his guiding light,

He stepped on hearts with all his might,

Doors once open, now slammed tight,

As he walked in darkness, devoid of sight.

But lessons harsh soon came to bear,

As he realized with despair,

That apologies, though sincere and true,

Cannot undo what disrespect can do.

Regret now heavy upon his chest,

He sought forgiveness, but found no rest,

For doors once open, now forever closed,

In the cold reality, he sadly supposed.

A humbled man, he learned too late,

That respect is a virtue, not up for debate,

For in the end, it's not wealth or fame,

But kindness and respect that leave a lasting flame.
