I Found God

I found God

On the corner

Of Main and Broadway

Shivering on a winter night

And begging for arms

I found God

In the emergency ward

At Victoria Hospital

Lying Breathless 

Beside his teary mother

I found God

At Port Harcourt Airport

Watching her children

Turn to ashes

In a flaming craft

I found God

Where I could

Have lost it all.
