Prudence

Prudence

Wears a white dress

Arrayed in diamonds

A veil clothing her like

A mother's swaddle

In hopes that she may remain

An innocent babe

For the rest of her days

 

But Prudence,

Dearest Prudence of ours

Was tragically wearing a white dress

When she spilled the wine

Called Virginity

All over the diamonds of Promise

And the glass shattered

All over her veil

 

And Prudence,

Wearing her beautiful white dress

Revealed herself,

Escaping the swaddle of the

Veil's motherly arms

Maturing as she wore

Red on her bosom,

And she walked the stage

Graduating into the school

Of Whores

 

Prudence,

Decidingly, decided

Not to allow her name to

Be conjoined,

A siamese twin

By the wicked step-father of

A man, so she

Gave herself her own name

Contradictory to the state

Of her ol' pal Virginity

And she called herself

 

Prudence

As she wears broken glass 

For the veil

Which is to be uncovered

Like the blood of a

Hymen,

Decides to break the glass

With the broken heel

From the arrow which

Impaled her poor little

Heel, 

And with her blood

She sacrificed to Molek

 

And in exchange

Gave herself

The adorning name of

Prudence

As she wore a shattered glass

Veil

With the name called

Jezebul, the Whore of

Babylonia

 

Prudence

Wears a white dress

Arrayed in the diamonds

Of her casualities

Known as her wineglass

Lovers

 

And Prudence

Gets naked,

In hopes that her

Diamond lovers

Squeeling with their

Decapitated heads

May come back to

Life

 

But Prudence 

Is a liar

For she wears a white dress

Covered with a glass-shattered

Veil

And she may never know how

To clean up that damned

Wine off of her

Damned 

Dress!
