people of the book, people of the boat

the people of the book, people of the boat

bringing conquest, possession

to the people of the earth

the people of the earth

listening to the people of the book

sharing the story of the book

of God’s plan for us

but the people of the book

not listening, ignoring,

the people of the earth

who know how to walk

with God in creation
