For every star in our night sky
That we can see by naked eye
By Hubble telescope we know
The ones we see are just for show

Each represents a billion more
Not stars but galaxies galore
Each galaxy a trillion stars
While man has yet to land on Mars

But bigger than this universe
Is God who sees it in reverse
His naked eye sees every man
And ponders over those who can
Believe the biggest thing of all - 
The lie with which we're comfortable
That all we see is all we know
And that is why God is not so?

Greg Annett, November 1999
