The reality of our time

The Voice of the Century Past

by danpald

The voice of the century past
Comes to mind in our task
To see how the "Culture of death"
Came from "God is Dead"

The voice of so many movements
A "Culture" of bloody influence
The product of a Philosopher
Nietzsche the cry of a Century

"God is dead" was his cry
Making the world a bloody strife
Now full turn to his thoughts
The "Mob" becomes the spirit of a dead god

Now to turn the world anew
Change is needed that is true
A new Philosopher has shown the way
St, John Paul II has led the way

Change is now needed to the world
A change from the "Culture of Death"
Bringing forth the "Culture of Life"
Comes from The Breath of God




Fredrick Nietzsche was a German Philosopher of the late 19th Century. He professed the "Death of God" and this became a reality of the 20th Century with wars and take overs of various Socialist societies.
St, John Paul II made this call to change at the end of the 20th Century: Change from the "Culture of Death" to the "Culture of Life." This is the need to move toward a Change bringing back sanity to a world of madness and mob mentality.
