Chivalry

Chivalry A long, long time ago Chivalry was wearing silver armour Travelling the countryside it rode a white horse Championed the weak, fought for all that was right It taught men of honour how to treat the fairer sex It was the force of good in the medieval world The world changed in a thousand years Chivalry disappeared as time went by The politeness and honour of that time was never meant to last Rudeness grew as the cities blossomed Even please and thank you are hardly ever heard There is more and more violence against innocents Women, once worshipped by the men who knew them Now they are beaten by men who never learned to care Even children, the most innocent of all, are abused Humans forgot how to act with each other The chivalrous are gone along with their morals The world needs one white knight riding on his white horse One who remembers what was taught so long ago One who will live the simple rules as so to teach our children Chivalry will one day return It takes is one person to care about politeness One knight to ride in on a white horse and say please Just one word said by the right person Then everyone will have the respect they deserve And we will bring the chivalry back to civilization

You've said this well !!! I think the world is in much need of kindness and politeness. Mostly what I see these days are words and no actions to back them. What does it hurt to say "please" and "thank you"....or to help someone in need??? Ohh dear...I could go on but won't. Enjoyed reading this poem !!

I am still one who holds the door for ladies and elderly.Says please and thank you.And I do all I can to help anyone in need.But I probably don't look like a white knight on a horse. :-)
