Stiff Neck Man
by
Dorothy Ross

You look like a man
But a hollow shell you are
I ask you a question you pretend not to hear
Answer me please why don't you
You say I don't hear you
It's just the way I am
And you look straight ahead
I ask you for the truth
You tell me a fib
I scream out in rage
I think I will faint
And you just look straigh ahead
Your eyes don’t see
Your ears don’t hear
You don’t laugh
You don’t cry
You just look straight ahead
Tell me that you love me
Tell me that you care
Say something but just don't say nothing
Before I loose my mind
I can’t stay one minute more
With this stiff neck man
