Where Is God's Kingdom

Some say that God’s kingdom is in the sky, or in the sea The birds would reach the sky before you, the small fish would have found it The kingdom is in us and outside us, we’re children of its king A poem based on a translation of the Gospel of Thomas (the language of the work being Coptic).
