Meaning

The power of meaning,  is that a  new idea;
No longer happiness or controlled thoughts?
With meaning , we can live with pain severe

When God was love , we knew the ritual sphere.
We did  not what we liked but what we ought
Is the power of meaning new and clear?

Religion left us many souvenirs
Although Indulgences cannot be sought
With meaning , we can live with pain severe

With religion ,we sought wholeness here
We indulge today in all that we have bought
Is the power of meaning new and clear?

Postmodern  Fascism, New Age spirits ,Fear.
Is this society  worthy of much thought?
With meaning, we can live with grief severe.

From God’s love , we thought  grace freely poured
Now  holy angels seem to  men  like whores
The power of meaning,  what an old idea!
With  less  meaning , life grows more severe
