I think it is the decay that causes my anger 

Many things that I grew up with are not the same 

Because of the rancid malignancy of others 

You still have me Jude I have not changed  

I have always stood by you even in your bad times

I am the gentle constant of your troubled life 

You have always hated any criticism of your work 

Even if it is considered extreme by others 

That is one of your major and most admirable strengths 

You do not settle for second best which does not exist 

Whilst I am away please do not change even for a moment 

I will return as soon as I am able to do so 

Please try to avoid conflict as it does you harm
