Chivalry isn't dead
I saw it in bunch of roses
And unrequited lover's smile
I saw it in couple's hug and kisses
I just feel it, taste it, sweeten by time.
Love is the most addictive drug
Its effect touches the depth of my soul
Limitless flow of radiating energy into my cornea
Its power send a lover to paradise
Transport you in the future time machine.
There's special joy in receiving flowers
To special someone you dearly love
Small things of gesture send a big impact
An amazing sight to see to any age in love
Very gentleman to see a rose given to your love.
On that glorious evening, don't sleep subtly.
Utterly, prime-age ought to portray a furious fire.
Rage for the waning daylight with ferocity.
Even if bold people realize the terrible dire.
Their tirades were drab due to a lack of bloom.
Utterly, prime-age ought to portray a furious fire.
An ultimate wave passed, awed by its gloom.
Their lamest act could be green bay dancing.
Their tirades were drab due to a lack of bloom.
Feral people sang to the sun while swooping.
Some claim they're bawling on the path too late.
Their lamest act could be green bay dancing.
Those on the verge of death due to a disease.
Eager eyes can shine as meteors even when blind.
Some claim they're bawling on the path too late.
And you: my dad, upon the bleak hillside.
On that glorious evening, don't sleep subtly.
Eyes can shine as meteors even when blind.
Rage for the waning daylight with ferocity.

There is nothing chivalrous about a sniper.
In days of yore, when the rain did pour;
Inside an inn, they spoke of was and when.
Even then their present was defined by their history,
As they prepared to march off to war again.
With muddied boots, we stomp on those which we call our enemy.
With feasts of meat and ale and fruit, we happily fill our bellies.
We raise the roof with our own self-importance.
We sing of past deeds and of how the battles were won.
Where we once used swords so chivalrously,
Now we fight each other using any surreptitious means;
Instead of swords, now we use guns.
Will we ever learn to end these battles
We insist on having with our fellow humans?
We are righteous in our reasoning, never mind the consequences.
If I am stood before God and He asks me to defend humanity;
Humanity shall stand alone; indefensible and defenceless.

It all could be ambiguous
I would rather be chivalrous
Than frivolous
I work hard and meticulous
And do not care if others see it as ridiculous
I will keep my head up through any predicaments
Working hard with diligence
Among any particulates
Near and far from plants that are or are not indigenous
My abilities limitless
Building a reputation that is legitimate
Much wiser and more experienced instead of senseless
I'm not looking for anyone's acceptance
Or trying to live reckless
Like when I was an adolescent
Outcomes turning out tremendous
Or rather horrendous
There may or may not have been any resemblance
Above and below so called 'remnants'
Trump Is Not Chivalrous
Is not chivalrous
To women is oblivious
We are curious.
Why is Trump like this anyway?
These would be poor qualities
for a President to have.

Been one of the lucky ones, good health all my life
Must be good genes, clean living, it's sure been a slice
Still a few years to go
Before I leave the show
Wonder if I could come back as a chivalrous white knight
