The Merit of Man

Drawn and Edited by:  Randy Sturridge

Once upon a time we all walked the lands

searching with hope to one day understand

The purposeful presence that bring about questions

Leading intellectuals to philosophize suggestions

Trial and error contract the scopes of limits

producing bi-products of various new secrets and sentiments 

Generations anew stretch further their reach

hypothesizing theories with a testament in each

Time doth pass as do great thinkers 

Leaving in their wake students and preachers

Reeling within the the absolute unknowns

allowing those forthcoming to secure similar tones

A history is built by the merit of man

Extending his passions to wake settled lands

We are a people of magnificient essence

Both in shape, stature, mentality and reference  

With each procession in lineage and line

We approach with courage in answering the unknown

Take time to appreciate your dear fellow man

For without man's good nature this world is damned.

For One Another

Drawn and Edited by: Randy Sturridge

A gift from one to another

Is not but everything that encourages others

The focus of life on distant shores subsides

Absolutes give way as molecules collide

My God

I’ve been on a journey of a spiritual kind

Two years I traveled within my own mind

Reading all subjects that became intertwined

I didn’t understand why I kept seeking

Growing irritations would leave me weeping

A searching thirst that had to come first

I refused to sleep I wouldn’t even try

I must keep searching to figure out why

Then it came all in one day

I found the answer that plagued me So

I found iT all in the books you know

What I discovered I didn’t expect

I found that god I’ve come to neglect

I never believed cause their was no proof

But the opposite argument gives no more clues

Don’t go searching for reasons to deny

The existence of a god that is for your own eyes

For if you do you will waste your whole life

Finding only more questions for why you deny

It was beautiful, I discovered my answer

The mystery of life is for god to answer

I now believe in a personal god

Not bound by a any particular law

My god is the answer to all of the questions

That aren’t being taught in any school lessons

Does it make sense to not believe

When we know so little beyond what we see

How could I judge and dismiss one for the other

Don’t be a soldier for the Lost logic lover

The questions remain and it will drive you insane

I speak not of religion but for a god I’ve claimed

Allow your god to give you wings to fly

I am so happy that I have found

A belief for me, a god to have around.
