What would the world look like?

When I was younger, I always thought: what would the world today look like if .....? you fill in the blank. Well, I got an answer to one of my questions about boys acting like gentlemen when it came to treating girls like women. That answer came when I heard about a Linn-Mar wrestler who wouldn't fight a girl at the state level.
Thanks Joel.

TRUE CHIVALRY
Chivalry isn't just for knights of old,
That is not what we are told.
We don't always have to be brave,
Why not give instead of gave?

He didn't always defend the land,
He also gave a helping hand.
Living in the castle was pretty neat,
All that steak, roast, even meat!

It was proven throughout the ages,
Also in those worn-torn pages.
Men were remembered for their chilvalry,
sometimes it actually made history.

Why not now,
Have some say "WOW!
I thought that it was only in the past,
But you have proven that it can last."

He did defend the land,
He did give a hand.
Castles don't always have to be neat,
Chivalry starts in your own back seat.

Finally Free!!!

Have you ever felt that feeling when you just start high school, the one where you just want to pitch in the towel but everyone is telling you no? I know I have. Just picture graduation with me:

THE FIRST WALK
I was waiting for this my whole career,
Now it's happened, it's finally here.
My test is over, it is final,
For the first time, no books is natural

Year one, I was so excited
I didn't know that three years were needed
When it was clear I was stuck
I truly wanted to only get out of the muck

Year two, I thought that I knew,
I was the only one in the few
Two years to go
Can't wait to say "no"

Year three, I knew what I wanted to do
Did it happen, wasn't always true
One more year to go
Soon I will hope I will finally know

Year four, I know that soon it will be over
No more books now forever
I can't wait for that day
It will happen sometime in May!

So you see, it is all about me
But you see how can this be
Those gowns as blue as the sea
As far as the eye can see

At one moment, my name is called
Never did I feel that I faltered
As I heard the narrator talk
I prepared and took my first walk
