Dave's Poem:
Not From Nothing
Comparing the creation of our souls
to animals or trees that never talk
is like pointing to a bed of burning coals
and asking someone else to take the walk.
Our courage comes from realizing God,
and knowing that our science can't design
the energy within the lightning rod
that strikes our fate and shows us the divine.
It's not from nothing that the world exists
and galaxies seek never ending skies
the nature of humanity consists
of following our faith with blinded eyes.
We may discover how a dove can fly
but only death will bring the reason why.

Hiram's Response:
Not FOR Nothing.
God made the world out of dark and the void
the same nothing science posits came first
to point at a fire walk we would avoid
comes naturally, cause our will is perverse
Our fear reminds us that nothing exists
that naught is the seed with which God creates
Sciences measure but folly and mists
The nothings within us are our native states
The world is finite, though galaxies strive
Ideas of eternity ever prod
All life and all matter face entropy
Yet all empty things seek their life in God
Death cannot serve as our nature's seed
God is the BANG that's the universe needs.
