Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Question

I walk alone, into the night, out in the cold, after a fight
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world
Under the thumb, I feel the pinch, I'm on the spot, this loves not right
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world


I stand nude, exposed to light, no hand to hold, just out of sight
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world
Watched every move, track every step, sent every plight
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world


After a while I wander, over and over I ponder
What would life be like, on my own 

I stand nude, exposed to light, no hand to hold, just out of sight
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world
Watched every move, track every step, sent very plight
Oh no, Oh no, It's a desperate world

After a while I wander, over and over I ponder
What would life be like, on my own

G'day Jerry … not only do I like the style of your poem, but the contents more so, because directly after the explosion it can take time to pick up the pieces and fit them back in place - very much enjoyed Jerry - Lindsay
