Good Guys

Opening her door Paying for the meal… And the movie Helping her in and out of her chair Being a gentlemen The qualities women used to want in a man What happened? Is it now polite to be impolite? Suddenly, The cars, clothes, and jewelry make the man Not the soul I don’t like Girbaud Jeans You can say my ride’s a ‘hupty’ I wear shirts and ties But if you look into my eyes Sincerity lies Don’t conform, Stand alone, A gentleman, lost in time Dumbfounded with disbelief A poet, rapper, songwriter, singer, composer, and Christian Not astonishingly handsome Decent looking A good guy, a rare breed Singled out by society Rejected by love Often oppressed Kind-hearted and compassionate Yet- I exist only in shadows But a mere mirage Inexplicable, Why good guys finish last…
