I may feel like an orphan in this world
but I know that I am always welcome
into the home of God
because I am always his child
Parents passed away
Orphan early he was left
By God was adopted!

It's nutritious food we lack...
Fee-fi-fo-fum
I smell the blood
of a malnourished orphan
the stranger, orphan, widow poor
all our means to God's grandeur
a helping hand, a kindly coin
heaven's partnership is joined
The bigotry of isolation,
prejudice of despair
The future in your rear window
—abandoned beyond repair
(Villanova Pennsylvania: July: 2020)
Honesty-an orphan lost in the streets of apathy-desperately seeking a foster home to find!

I was an orphan left at a doorstep when I was just two
And I'm also a brother to a sister that I never knew
I am now a husband, and a father, and a grandfather too!
An Orphan
who lost the mother immediately after birth
grew up and heard of the Father's death
now he lives in pain
life is no longer the same.

astounding layers of
ignorance
spreads in the green
land of bliss
i am an orphan
opening the wings of
compassion
blue peacocks dance
in the hope of
apocalyptical rain

The Mountain
looms
and calls your name
To glory
or
perdition
Its summit
has a thousand
fathers
Whose abyss
awaits
— the orphan

(Before Sentencing.)
They called him ‘Poor Boy’
a victim of life’s promise...
a voice without love
neither percipient of
nor an indulgence in it.

Listen to poem:
looking for wisdom
where it could be found
a vulnerability all too endearing
subtle yet barely beneath the surface
the abandoned child
all grown up

Leading from today
into the past
Present state of mind
destroyed
The future an orphan,
waiting disowned
Hell’s pathway
—to the void
(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2020)
Words left borrowed
heavy on the heart
Actions defaulting
stillborn and dark
Pawning the foundling
orphan on loan
Love unbequested
— dying alone
(Dreamsleep: April, 2024)
Remember “Little Annie Orphan” way back when
Her faithful dog Sandy, who played the mandolin
Clever old mutt
Brains up his butt
A joy for all us kiddies from end to begin
our world is hell, if where you dwell,
pain and suffering is near,
no need to go to Satans hell,
it's a bit more subtle here...
re: "Orphan in the Dock" Harry Horseman
by Don Johnson
Immaculate perception
its vision so pure
Beyond all deception
adroitly demurred
A birth without legacy
an orphan unnamed
Judgment abandoned
—redemption proclaimed

Sky blinks, amid ordinance's rumble,
a motherless child sees life crumble.
Deserving of peace but found was none,
A life hardly launched and now it's done.
Without our dreams
we sit naked and alone
Imprisoned by doldrums
adrift from our home
In fits of depression
we unstep the mast
Awaiting the storm
— of futures long past
(The New Room: August, 2024)
His life's bank account
Soon runs out of tomorrows
Orphan yesterdays!
A new life account
His soul will open at once
Infinite limit!

Balanced on a cusp precariously,
Trying to decide who I’d rather be,
Capricorn is sure and steady,
Aquarius, thoughtful and ever ready,
Yet neither one is really me.
**For the Zodiac Race**
Truth is an orphan
alone in the wind
License for others
who hide from within
Facing the storm
without fear or excuse
A guardian steps forward
— with hope to infuse
(To Charlie Kirk: September, 2025)
Cosmological constant …
quintessence confounds
Supernovae as mileposts
clear and profound
Addition subtraction
their delta expands
An orphan untethered
—the wind through the sand
(Dreamsleep: October, 2023)
