I SAW GOD

I saw God
Invoked with madness yet full of calmness
I saw God
Chased with a rod, teased by a prod
I saw God
Confined to dine on waste
I saw God
Ignored yet not bored with his fate

I saw God

I saw God
Stricken with poverty with no surety
I saw God
Denied education by an unfortunate situation
I saw God
Surviving by begging yet robbed of his little earning
I saw God
Treated fairly, cheated daily

I saw God
Heartbroken in uncontrollable tears
I saw God
Deceived by a promise of unfailing love now his fears
I saw God
Emotionally traumatized innocently victimized
I saw God
Abused in many ways, confused for many days

I saw God

I saw God
Hungry in a town full of bread
I saw God
Naked in a town full of clothing
I saw God
Homeless in a town full of homes
I saw God
Sad in a town full of fun

I saw God

I saw God
You saw God
We saw God
In need
And then walked away
