Below the surface
Psalm 53:2
2 God looks down from heaven at the human race,
to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.
Below the surface
It is said from the highest mountain one can observe the world
Traveling in luxury to all parts so one can understand all people
From below the surface it is interwoven deep in the hearts
as it shows the exposition of earth’s jungles and church steeples?
What is below the surface and seldom understood?
It is surely not all dormant what cannot be seen
Is there love in turtles when it searches for food?
Can a shark in the morning be thirsty and mean?
We study in the mirror and paste an attractive subtle fake
We shave, trim and brush a substance and I wonder now why?
Why are looks important in the first place if a glimpse is all it takes?
Is it not to hide what’s below the surface and appear better to the eye?
