at proper angles we let the light fade
this is the duty we demand of all
you do no good to name it just a trade
such simple matters do not call for aid
we leave behind only the very small
at proper angles we let the light fade
the smoothest surface will in time abrade
to say such things does not require much gall
you do no good to name it just a trade
this time we know that you will turn afraid
but we can't let the process fail or stall
at proper angles we let the light fade
your obligation is to make the grade
all other matters will come to a fall
you do no good to name it just a trade
this is the meaning spoken by the shade
not one of us dares listen to that call
at proper angles we let the light fade
you do no good to name it just a trade
(C)2008, Ledgister Fragano
