Do not be subdued by this tatooed & lacerated exterior. Beneath this coat of arms you will find a warm, affectionate, verseman. Don't trip on my haiku though, I've got a forehead that displays no remorse...

I tried to find him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere.
I searched on the mountains and in the valleys but neither in the heights nor in the depths was I able to find Him. I went to Caaba in Mecca, but He was not there either.
I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding.
I then looked into my heart and it was there where He dwelled that I saw Him; He was nowhere else to be found.
