Analysis of A Gentleman.
What makes a true gentleman?
Is it his suit and his tie?
Or the fact that he isn't afraid to cry?
Is it the way he shoulders tradition?
Or the fact that he is a good son?
The way he treats women..
Or the way he is master in the kitchen?
Is it the way he stands up for what is right
The way he is always fair in a fight?
Or is it in his Heart,
Which pains when another is hurt?
