Our little games

In the past,  we thought the world  our own

Created for  us by a loving Lord
So on its lands, we played our little games

Existentialists  claim we have no home
Dislocated, life can’t be enjoyed
In the past,  folk felt  the world  their own

Hell is other people, Sartre claimed,
Dividing us to monads  deeply flawed
Yet in  the  past, community was sane

Why do we feel lost with lone hearts maimed?
Are we shocked by new techniques and awe?
In the past, communion  was our  own

Spirit lost in wars, what is our aim?
If  God is dead, who shall declaim the Law?
We’re  ” civilised “, how mute Ethics  forlorn

The tablet  Moses  found  has been disdained
We submit  to nothing but our toys.
Machines and war destroy communal aims.
Who can raise us; how can debts be paid?
