Orphan

Left disappointed by theology
Left unsatisfied by biology
Left empty-handed by philosophy
In a seemingly random universe
In a bad situation getting worse
Apart from cant and rant to search the sky
I live in fear as an orphan down here

Not the best man but surely not the worst
Not important certainly not the first
Nor last to sink under this rising sea
Left here to die without quite knowing why
Left alone to wonder until I do
Left on the brink not knowing what to think
I turn back to childhood when I knew you

God if you are there please would you show me
If we could have a future you and I?
