Alone Lying, thinking Last night How to find my soul a home Where water is not thirsty And bread loaf is not stone I came up with one thing And I don't believe I'm wrong That nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. There are some millionaires With money they can't use Their wives run round like banshees Their children sing the blues They've got expensive doctors To cure their hearts of stone. But nobody No, nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. Now if you listen closely I'll tell you what I know Storm clouds are gathering The wind is gonna blow The race of man is suffering And I can hear the moan, 'Cause nobody, But nobody Can make it out here alone. Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody Can make it out here alone. This is peom written by contemporary poet Maya Angelou. I chose this poem, because I think that poet Angelou is absolutely right. As much as I could understand this poem, I think I’m completely agree with her. I think this poem is a truth of life. In the second stanza I think she means that whether it’s a poor or rich, everyone needs someone, no one can live alone. Every human being, birds, animals, trees, and all living things need someone to live with. Everyone needs a companion. I thing this poem is something that can’t be explained in words. This poem is like about imagining the truth. It’s like realizing the truth of life. i really liked this poem. it's not really long, but still it tells the whole truth of life. |
