A sad and lonely cone

posted by Paul

I wonder who you belong to
and why they threw you down.
I wonder, did they just drop you,
sadly - without a sound?
I wonder if you're crying
as you lie there melting down.
I wonder if they'll fetch you and
scoop you from the ground.


The story of a sad and lonely cone lying in the gutter across from Blaauberg Beach.

That is sad! Could be a happy thing for a lucky dog.

I hope whoever dropped it, went back to get another.

That must be one of the saddest photos I've seen on this site, Kerry-Anne.

Perhaps a metaphor to our disposable society.

littlegrasshopper >> It's no problem at all. We've licences the photos under the Creative Commons license (there's a link on the website). It basically allows anyone to use the photos for non-commercial purposes, provided we're given credit - which you have done.

Thanks for letting me know, I'm glad that you found a use for the photo. It does go nicely with the song words you quoted. :)
