The Wanderer
Kid A
on trial
crouching victim
hides in their shame
they told her
she was to blame
that she was not so very proper
she shouldn't have worn
that velvet dress
testimony swarm
"should have known...
it was an invitation"
for lady luck
to risk his temptation
what is the crime
in being me?
I am a woman
not a disease
for man to finger
and blame
for his uncontrollable
insidious flame
scorched her skin
with his lust
now her "virtue"
ashes to dust
inquisitioned by bastards
who stand and mock
the freedom they rape
with tyranny's perpetual cock
who are they
to ask why
she is so pleasing
to the eye
can they not
look upon "beauty"
and feel to usurp
is their masculine duty
the facts
the acts
the haunts
the taunts
in judgment
their guilts and sin
taints the looking-glass
they've hospitalized her in
will she heal
their ancient mind
of archaic notions
that distort and blind
she is
the symptom
of a prisoner
and a victim
