Gentlemen

gentlemen still exist

hidden throughout our existence

although I may be blind

most of the time

I'd still pick you out of a crowd

you open a door

you pull out a chair

you always expect something in return

gentlemen still exist

where the eye cannot see

hidden inside

hidden by their pride

for the game that they think they play

you say some sweet words

buy her some flowers

and still expect something in return

gentlemen still exist

outside of our well - written dreams

call me a day dreamer

a hopeless believer

but some things just aren't as they seem

This poem really keys on some classic themes. I like how you focused on how gentlemen aren't often seen. I think that says something about our society. Yes, I do agree that is their way. Yet, I would say many of them are out done by those those naughty boys you identified in this piece. Glad to see that there are still people who cherish gentlemen.

Some of us make mistakes
At times we are impolite
Sometimes we are gentlemen
and we would be insulted if offered
something in return.
Sometimes we are just guys.

I hope I'm a gentleman. If so, they exist!
