I am King, I am Man

Days come and days go

Some so fast others slow

A day will come just for me

A day where everyone will see

Overlooked and Unimportant

Neutral compliance of some assortment

A day unlike the other days

Will come for me where I shall say

"All you people, all you souls

ghouls of guise with hearts of coals

I am king and here I stand

Grande and noble upon this land

I walk on by you in the halls

on the streets and in malls

Recognition goes unsaid

As though even my shadow's dead

Every dog gets his chance

A day he basks in circumstance

Remember me for all your years

My image in your mind I've seared

Let my life be marked by this

I am not seen, to just dismiss

I am Randy take notice here

Forget me not in all your years

Change the world I have not

Touched your mind or maybe taught

Understand I am one

That loves so much anyone

I am purposeful inside

By which I live and shall then die

A mark I've left I hope I have

To be remembered is not bad

Timeless treasures I possess

For every moment I have left"

Randy Sturridge

Self Proclaimed Intellectual

Mr. intellectual I beg you take mind

I’ve become encumbered and weighted by thoughts

I beg an audience with your branded reach

Verbiage and endowment I’ve gathered you have

From perspective in assessing your candor, I inquire

Arduous engagement seem not necessary for enlightenment

Speaking so kingly but not a throne for your rare

I deduct your omniscience may dilute in few years

Conflagration, is flame, just fire by law

Intellectual, Formal, and neutral it draws

An apex revealed where proclaimed just a meadow

Fashioned by cloak you’ve disguised all by trickery

Falsehood inordinate secured as luxury

Un-raveled by plebian prophets I’ll say

Intellectual merit self fashioned in deceit

Rounds the mind of philosophical pressure

Encumbered no more as confusion erodes

A sophisticate king is but a mere miscreant

Apex revealed king now questioned premier

Deduct your stature so self fashioned now null

Simple exchange hath wrought your great fall

Be it wicked and dangerously said

This eve shall serve as enlightened ceremony

For unmasked revealed by a traveling seeker

To uncover truth of said false branded prophet

To bid you farewell as I take new course

To reveal through travel all false apex of this land
