Le Chateau Indesirable

le château indésirable (The undesirable Chateau ) I have no body I am asleep My head lies in a an old wooden box My eyes are closed The world is too cruel A single tear rolls down my face I am sad and I can fathom no reason why Do all the dead babies cry? Not even born and yet my soul is old I am just a head in an old wooden box My body is gone, I know not where My chateau is an old empty crate One of the unwanted Why do you stare? This old wooden cage is my home sweet home I lie here to ponder and contemplate I sometimes stare to the skies So Unwanted

I enjoyed reading this one again, I van see how the video inspired. I enjoyed the music as well. It's a shame I don't understand French.

Very sad poem, but I am confused about who is missing his body but his head in the box. I have read that they use to do this so they wouldn't go to heaven as a whole body. :) eve

I'm confused Arthur, I just read Shadow's poem Freddie and she has this poem posted as one of Freddie's poems. Am I missing something?
