	MICHAEL MIKUS Look Where We Worship Ancient man worshipped the sun and moon. He knew the earth was round and drew A circle on the ground, then looked around And saw the symbol fixed, so that all things Living reflect the image of the creator. We should worship the earth, because it's Who we are, formed from dust, worthy To breed life, we struggle to endure Fenced in space marked with scars to live In sad disgrace-we have tried, but failed To reach the palace throne and all along We walked this sacred ground unaware Of it's profound beauty. Where do you Look for God? In a church? Do you feel His presence in the essence of who you are? Stretch out your right hand-Now touch it With your left. He's that close to your stone Heart, waiting to lift you above the earth.	AllPosters.com	04.03 001 014 015 004 005 006 007 008 009 010 011 012

Aw, a well wisher, no? It's my father-in-law, you know The man who left her here He doesn't like me being on top of his daughter Having an interracial relationship, I see we both agree I think it's best to run now Divorce…
