    Basically, I'd say the main point is that nobody has any idea what God is really like. That would appear to be a child's perception of God and it is just as accurate as anyone elses could be.

    It's also possible that it was written by a person from a different culture, presumably Jamaican if the phonetics are anything to go by. Another thing that suggests that the poet is from a Jamaican origin is that in the last stanza, it's said that "man she got style". Man is typically used phrase in Jamaica, not so much here. The poet also refers to the traditional Jamaican dance, the limbo in the second stanza which also could suggest his nationality.
