Placed at an unflattering position on the body
But extending a service so noble, what an irony

Man or rather woman had it all worked out
Make it look good current in fashion
A bee-line to known shoemakers be part of the crowd
Royals and celebrities for the same quality brand 
To be a regular at perhaps Jimmy Choo’s
Princess Di before and others with fashion sense
Considered to have arrived with such shoes
Announced as as one of Jimmy's clients

It served its purpose for what was intended
For it was meant also for protection
Dainty feet against the vagaries of nature tendered
In many sports of various extractions
As an accessory in dressing and finery of elegance
At work place with steel tips as shoes of safety

But man had refused to forget its lowly position
Essentially it relates to the cultures of many societies
Sitting with the soles facing someone in front is insulting
Having one thrown at you is worse

and that had happened since
To two Presidents of different countries no less

Treat it well, with acts of love so refined
Treat it with respect, it then stays at the feet
Treat others with disrespect then one may just find

it flying at one’s face to even out a dictator's misdeeds
