Freddie Robinson Jr. Poet Rhyme

Chivalry's Last Stand

I stand in defense of decorum and civility
Spirited debates over a cup of tea
I'm a staunch supporter of the art of statesmanship

To be worthy of my fealty
To gain my unwavering loyalty
You must possess integrity and have a guileless lip

I will demand no less
I will cross swords with the best
To ensure our cause stay pure and true

I will not bend ear to chicanery
I will not follow an evil command
I declare this to be chivalry's last stand

Where does one go when honor abates
To follow someone with villainous traits
No! To such I refuse to pledge my hand

The world is awash in vulgar disposition
It has yielded to every foul imposition
Let valor prevail at chivalry's last stand

White Wolf October 10, 2016 at 6:27 PM A great declaration Freddie, It's a pity there are not more people like yourself, the world would be a much more harmonious place if there was. /|\ Freddie Robinson Jr. October 11, 2016 at 10:41 AM Aw, Rick, you got me blushing. Ha ha ha. But, I am just cut that way. I love peace and love. I'm from the hippie/love child generation of the 60's and 70's. That's how we wanted the world to be. Appreciate the comment though. Love you always.
