You get what you give
You get what you give
If you give respect respect to others
You will get respect
If you mistreat you friends
You are going to lose them
And you will end up alone
And isolated
From the outside world
If you make a promise to
Your friends you should keep it
If you break the promise
You will be letting your
Friends down

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet’s AI:
The poem presents a clear moral message about reciprocity and the importance of respect and honesty in friendships. The directness of the language makes the message accessible, but it limits the poem’s emotional resonance and imaginative engagement. The repetition of “respect” in the second line appears unintentional and could be revised for clarity. The structure is linear, moving from cause to effect, but the lack of imagery and figurative language results in a didactic tone rather than an evocative one.
The poem could benefit from more specific examples or sensory details to ground its themes in lived experience. For instance, instead of stating “you will end up alone / And isolated / From the outside world,” consider illustrating what that isolation feels or looks like. The poem’s lineation is irregular, and enjambment does not appear to serve a particular purpose; reconsidering line breaks might enhance rhythm or emphasis.
Overall, the poem communicates its intended message but would be strengthened by attention to language, imagery, and poetic devices that move beyond straightforward exposition.

I will...
agree that the intent of this one is too involved in the straight-forward message and would be better served in paying more attention to imagery and poetic language. However, the message is one that should be remembered by all. Thank you for the reminder that we are all in this together, and we would do well, to remember that. ~ Geezer.
