Dying Gentleman

Wheres the Gents gone?

Men , where are you?

Where have you all gone?

Paying tribute to the gentlemen

The man in armor that shone

 

The protector, the provider

Adrift in a sea of acquiesces

Our knight in shining armor

Instead many are gremlins

 

Someone to treat us virtuous

Not to be used as trusting souls

But have respect as soul mates

Come sit awhile, enter my gates

 

Are you lost forever?

I hear your distant voices

I behold the shadows of kings

Now we have too many choices

 

Where’s the roar of the lion?

The older counseling the vernal

How to respect the princess

Instead we are as guano

 

Come convene awhile and observe

To the cry of the princess

Our feminine ways dying slowly

As we rise to try to possess

 

We have to fight and succeed

Performing the male role

A gentleman is a withering breed

Can you hear the sob of our soul?

Its quite surprising that no one has reviewed this poem as its been viewed many times. Perhaps the males amongst us are afraid because of the subject matter. I am going to give it a stab though and hopefully get the ball rolling as I noticed you have "featured" this piece. Standing alone as a poem its a really good and another glance into the secret feminine like we get in your erotic poem!
Where have all the Gentleman gone? Perhaps modern society has taken away our shining white horse, sword and shield. Unfortunately there are no dragons to slay any more and if there was, some politically correct group would be telling us not to kill, eat them or wear there skin. Their just expressing their rights to burn pillage and eat the princess after all. What am trying to say is Man as a group has been systematically disenfranchised by woman herself! The feminine has become more masculine and vice a versa. The two sexes in this modern age are coming together in this sense, some call it a middle ground.....I personally would call it a stalemate. I would love to ROAR like the lion given half a chance even if society today frowned upon me. The lady though would have to inspire me and encourage me to do so.

I agree to a certain extent but not all us women are like that.. some are still femine and need the roar of a male lion.. and for him to go out and slay a few dragons now and then ;)

Roar........Roar..........ROAR!!!!!!!! Hrmm no more dragons around especially in LA..........will a traffic warden do?? :)

Not all are gone. Southern men, like myself, still treat women with the utmost respect. Excellent read and write.

There are lots of gentlemen left in the world. You obviously have chosen poorly in the past. Most of you girls prefer the "b*****d" for some reason and never give the nice guy a chance.

i wrote that poem a few years ago.. since i have come to realize.. after attracting too many "b******s" as you put it :). I realized its me that needs to change inside, then i wont have the neon light above my head to attract that sort..

It' a shame, that you don't get more reviews. This is worthy of many reads. Very daring of you to take a sword at masculinity. I tasted the wisdom and ignorance of femininity as the princess laid dying.

Come convene awhile and observe
