God’s World is not foreign
It is indigenous
After you’ve finished touring
You return to us

God’s Law is not complex
It is very simple
Needs no super intelligence
To do the needful

God’s Love is not exotic
It is native
Homeliness is romantic
Non-invasive

You are not an alien
In God’s eyes
Be at peace with yourself
And you will rise.
