I
Plagues send me, sounded in retreats of prayer To an unknown God. I offer sacrifice On altars built with stones of sage advice Directed by such sheep that lead me there. I look for God in every godless place Of gold and silver, crafted artifice Finely designed with dedicated care To an unknown God. I offer sacrifice Wherever sheep lie down to pay the price, Poor creatures ignorant and unaware. I look for God in every godless place Where emptiness reflects on every face That peers into uncertainty, and there To an unknown God I offer sacrifice But carry to the altar only this Sublime insistence: God is everywhere I look, in every godforsaken place, Accepting each unknowing sacrifice.
