Can all we do is atone for sins

And hope someone will nod and praise our effort?

Can we, only puppets in a dark contaminated world,

Find someone who will tell us truths, not lies?

Can all I do is be useless

And pray for the day that someone will find use for me?

Am I but the residue of great things before me?

The blood left after an eminent battle.

I'm afraid to be just the aftermath

Of a struggle for life and identity

It frightens me to be

Just a footnote.

Just someone who was against others.

Just a Remnant.

But if I am just a Remnant,

Let me be more for you, Mother.

Will you think of me

As more than a vestige of someone greater?

If not…

Then, I'll accept my place,

Just for you as

Just a Remnant.
