Lament of an Insane Man

Lament of an Insane Man

A Poem by Poet Pittinix
"

It's a sad song of a madman.

"

Inspired by real events


Poor me, Daley’s boy,

I’m just walking up and down,

Eating out of rubbish bin.

Instead of doing this to me,

You should’ve just killed me.


Lord oh, Lord oh,

Spade, shade and shun.

Lord oh, Lord oh,

Spade, shade and shun.


Poor me, Daley’s boy,

I’m walking barefoot in the sun.

Whom have I ever hurt?

I’d rather be in my grave

Than live to suffer this way.


Lord oh, Lord oh,

Spade, shade and shun.

Lord oh, Lord oh,

Spade, shade and shun.
