Mark Hilsdon - Little Outcast

"Life's but a walking shadow
A poor player
Who struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more
It is a tale told by an idiot
Full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing"
Colder and colder
Little ice-packed boulder
News from Earth just gets me down
Kicked out of the family
Diminished in my gravity
My complex is safe and sound
No time now for oddball worlds
On the minds of boys and girls
Where am I gonna go now?
Can't seem to fit in somehow
On the outskirts all my life
In the iron grip of this little star
Contained but reaching out so far
A subtle force could nudge me out
No, I am not like the rest
And I was not "Planet X"
Little prick of sunlight
Constant of my endless night
Grant me just this one reply
I don't feel your distant rays
They don't like my different ways
I struggle to know who am I?
"You are the consciousness of
My distant, fragile love"
From whence this galaxy sprang
There was the biggest of bangs
And I went out to the edge
Black sheep of the family
Size, distance, trajectory
But part of something all my life
The ending soon is plain to see
It's me and you and you and me
And I am out here by design
Under the aegis of Sol
So go screw you all!
