The Search

I have a burden The biggest burden known To man No, you cannot see it You cannot feel it Though I carry it about Like a wrecking ball attached To a croaking crane Somebody, please help me Somebody... Anybody Why do you stare at me? Why the look askance? You say: "Show us your burden" I cannot! I am sorry I am not permitted to do so You have to search it out for yourselves If only you would look less Then you would see it. No one? Not a single soul? Then, in double sorrow do I depart Like a hunchback with his unholy burden To the next town I go Hoping to find an answer to this riddle.
