Not the Knight I Used To Know
You are not the knight I used to know,
now, you are more like the shadow of yourself;
you are down to zero… from a righteous rainbow.
Your sweet storybooks suddenly left the shelf;
a once loud and lovely voice that suddenly went low,
oh, how did your graceful giant turn… an erring elf?
The sparrows stole the saintly seeds you wanted to sow,
you no more have control over your happy home;
a once loud and lovely voice that suddenly went low.
Your keen kids do not stop to run and roam,
seeking succor from friends, families and… foes;
you no more have control over your happy home.
You have stepped on the Almighty God’s terrific toes,
you are now an unknown Island… leaving all alone;
seeking succor from friends, families and… foes.
You have lost your terrific theme, thrust and tone,
you are not the knight I used to know;
you fell into fire and broke your blessed bone,
down to zero… from a righteous rainbow.
