The One In Shining Armor
Here's a thoughtful poem written by yours truly.
What happened,
To the Knight?
The one in shining armor?
The chivalry, and the code that bound him?
What happened,
To that knight?
The one so courageous,
That he stood at the front of his men in battle?
What happened,
To that knight?
Who drove into the middle of the fray,
And even when his helmet flew off, he still fought?
What happened,
To that knight?
Whose men were bound to him,
And they fought with him, to the end?
What happened,
To that knight?
Who fought in the battles
That were already lost?
What happened,
To that knight?
Who slammed into the enemy,
With his men behind him, and when he died,
Many mourned the loss?
What happened,
To this Knight?
Pieces of him live on,
A little bit in all of us,
Less in some, more in others.
Is there one, though,
Who is fully this Knight,
Fighting the battle of this world,
Holding to his code of honor,In the face of death?

I told you how I put off posting this, so I'll leave it here in a comment:
Whatever happened to fair dealing
And pure ethics
And nice manners?
Why is it everyone now is a pain in the ass?
Whatever happened to class?
Class.
Whatever happened to "Please may I"
And "Yes thank you"
And "How charming?"
Now every son of a bitch
Is a snake in the grass
Whatever happened to class?
Class.
Oh, there ain't no gentelmen to open up the doors,
There ain't no ladies now there's only pigs and whores
And even kids'll knock you down so's they can pass
Nobody's got no class!!!
Whatever happened to old values
And fine morals
And good breeding?
Now no-one even says oops
When they're passing their gas
Whatever happened to class?
Class.
Oh, There ain't no gentelmen that's fit for any use,
And any girl will touch your privates for a deuce
And even kids'll kick your shins and give ya sass
Nobody's got no class!
All you read about today is rape and theft
Jesus Christ, ain't there no decency left?
Nobody's got no class!
Every guy is a snot
Every girl is a twat
Holy shit (Holy Shit)
What a shame (What a shame)
What became of class?
Chicago es muy bueno.
Being an errant knight isnt practical today.
