Reason cannot teach us how to dance

What time is it, the old man said to me.
Time for  conversation with no fee
We have to pay the therapist to hear
Why we feel we need to live in fear

Friends are better as they know our ways
Know when we are having  a dark day
But everyone is suffering  angst and dread
For God   has gone away  to haunt the dead

The old man prayed when he awoke  to dark
Asking Jesus  for some light, some sparks
But why  wait till the end  is drawing near
And angry ghosts pollute the atmosphere

Enlightenment is what they called it once
But reason cannot teach  us how to dance
