To Whom

Rude 1973 (St Vincent)



To my dismay
I want to relay
A message not to kind
Tis the tasteless wine

Don't miscontude
The relative attitude
For my voice is clear
Open your ear

Your existence
Is like a shadowry presence
Covering in darkness
Every trace of happiness

Tis sweet in your absence
Sour's the trace of your essence
A candid smile
Drowned in your fouled beguild

So not to subdue
To the likes of you
Let's clear the air
Disappear!
