Open letter to Prince

in response to lotusflow3r.com

Let me speak let me spit out my bitterness
Born of grief and nights without sleep and festering flesh
Do you have eyes?
Can you see like mankind sees?
Why have you soured and curdled me?
Oh you tireless watcher! What have I done to you?
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true?

Once I was blessed; I was awaited like the rain
Like eyes for the blind, like feet for the lame
Kings heard my words, and they sought out my company
But now the janitors of Shadowland flick their brooms at me
Oh you tireless watcher! What have I done to you?
that you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true?

I've lost all taste for life
I'm all complaints
Tell me why do you starve the faithful?
Why do you crucify the saints?
And you let the wicked prosper
You let their children frisk like deer
And my loves are dead or dying, or they don't come near

Oh and look who comes to counsel my deep distress
Oh, these pompous physicians
What carelessnes

Oh all this ranting all this wind
Filling our ears with trash
Breathtaking ignorance adding insult to injury!
they come blaming and shaming
Evil doer
And shattering me
This vain man wishes to seem wise
A man born of asses
Oh you tireless watcher! What have I done to you?
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true?

We don't despise your chastening
Already on a bed of sighs and screams
And still you torture me with visions
You give me terrifying dreams!
Better I was carried from the womb straight to the grave
I see the diggers waiting, they're leaning on their spades

Man is the sire of sorrow
Sure as the sparks ascend
Where is hope while you're wondering what went wrong?
Why give me light and then this dark without a dawn?
Evil is sweet in your mouth
Hiding under your tongue
Show your face!

What a long fall from grace
Help me understand!
What is the reason for your heavy hand?
You're stumbling in shadows
You have no name now
Was it the sins of my youth?
What have I done to you?
That you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true?
Oh your guilt must weigh so greatly
Everything I dread and everything I fear come true
Man is the sire of sorrow
Oh you make everything I dread and everything I fear come true

The Sire Of Sorrow, Joni Mitchell

Dear Prince,


Man, what's wrong? For real, talk to me! Make me understand!

Right now, I'm more than ready to call it quits! I've been patient. I've made all the excuses, there were to make. Your ears still work, don't they? You know what you feel and what you don't! The only song out of that whole 3 cd monstrosity, that HAD the potential of restoring you to your rightful place was "Dance 4 Me"! Did you go with it? NOPE! You didn't!

I'm done! I'm tired! Waiting for you to get it together, is a waste of my time and energy! I'm through and I'm done!

I wish you well and those still holding out hope, I wish them well too, though I don't see a happy ending in their futures.

I would not have believed in a million years, it would have come to this but it has and I sick of the nonsense.

Those that know how to keep in touch, you're welcome to do so. Those that don't, fuck you, I don't like you anyway!

Peace out, y'all!
I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

I think you need a healthy dose of perspective. There are other things in life that a far more worthy of this type of angst.

In the end, for all the disappointment you no doubt genuinely feel, Prince is just a music artist, and he's just not that important!

Buy a paper, have a read, speak to your friends, family, walk down the street. Hopefully it'll be clear where being a Prince fan sits in the grand scheme of things.

You guys are not angry fans, you guys are angry.

By the way this Joni Mitchel song is about The Old Testament as a theological discussion from The Book of Job, is not about a human beign, nice try!

U just expected 4 more then what U got. Instead of accepting what was given to you. But since you are so good. Make your own website, and release 3 albums of your own material so we can critique you my dear
