Death of a Gentleman

What happened to the guy…
Who opened doors for ladies?
Loved… their families and babies?
Well, he’s dead
With a vicious blow to the head.

She killed him with her devious ways,
And as she aged.
But now, she’s outraged
With the inauguration
Of the ensuing man,
And his ungentle hand.
Saying “he belong in a cage!”

But with that expired man…
Gentle,
With his feather’s touch.
Who loved so much…
She treated him so rough.

Her advantage, he’s easy.
For granted and she deceived me.
And she wonder why, now…
He don’t cry or try.

So, he fly away with
The angels and Aundra.
Leaving things her way
Because she made it that way.

And she destroyed that man…
Gentle,
While he was being sentimental.
And her sinister plan
Placed his blood on her hand…
As she stabbed him with her malice
Again and again.

As he dropped to his knees
Pleading with her society
Not to mistreat him.
She said she wouldn’t,
But still she did it again…
Until the end if his era.

Now he’s gone with out a trace.
Extinction…
Expulsion…
Corrupted with taint.
Now, things ain’t what they use to be.
And, now… She sees.

Now she cry, wishing for a gentleman,
While she see the thugs and villains.
And their society ain’t even willing
To be what he was…
Because they love killing
Just like she does…

Well, like she did.
