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

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?
