Chivalry

They asked “Where has Chivalry gone,
Where did the knight with shining armour go?
And the gentleman who treats his date with the utmost respect,
With no expectations in return?”

They have all entered the tavern of Unity,
Where they have hidden themselves from a world filled with abuse,
A world filled with soldiers of hate, and glasses filled with rufalin.
These chivalrous men stand no chance in a world of such hatred and disrespect
That in hiding, they bask in their drunken stupor of their world
Those they cared for most have tossed them to the side,
Forgotten for their honorable duties,
Only the wine of the tavern has been able to fill their chivalrous hearts.

At old age,
When the fountain of youth has poured its last drop of wine,
These men have learned the secrets of the world,
And they go back to the homes from whence they had come.
There as dervishes, they still drink that potent wine of the tavern,
And share their knowledge to the poor and homeless.

However these men have not forgotten,
Still in the world is a damsel in distress,
A date waiting for their gentleman to pull their chair back.
But the Dervishes acknowledge this,
Play their Tambours and Dafs,
Listen to the beating heart of the world,
And devote themselves to the Beloved.
