Chivalry Is Dead

[Grimousetie]

This got published in Brilliance: An Anthology of Poetry when I was in my sophomore year of high school.
I hate rhyming, so the vast majority of my poetry are free verse. This was the second time I was published, the first was in sixth grade.

Chivalry is Dead

Forgotten dreams

Thoughtless words

Bring the world down on young disasters

We are all used and abused

And finally broken by fears

Temptations and the thirst for love

Break even the strong

Chivalry is dead

No longer are kind words spoken

People are only controlled by lust and money

Thoughts and feelings are bottled up inside

Only to fester and boil

One wrong move can set anyone off

It is how hate and murder are brought to existence

And chivalry is dead

Not bad. I like a lot of the lines :]

 

[Grimousetie]

Thank you. =)
I don't like to rhyme and I like to make some weird pauses, but I think it still flows.
