    My Sophisticated Generation
    I belong to a sophisticated generation
    The old age idolatry of Baal
    And the Sun gods, the Ra
    They know, they worship no more

    I belong to a generation that worships mental idols
    A generation locked in preconception and ideology
    A generation whose motives, intentions, actions and thoughts are governed by theories
    A generation that values people’s views over God’s principles

    I belong to a generation that worships television
    Gone are the days when men would go the extra mile in prayer
    Now are days men won’t go to sleep without watching soaps
    And spend their earnings on cosmopolitan magazines

    I belong to a generation of sport and fame
    Where soccer, basketball and cricket are the holy of holies
    And the athletes are the high priests
    Worshipped and revered

    I belong to a sophisticated generation
    That is consumed in unseen idolatry
    If we would know the end would we take the first step?
    Would we restore our Lord God to His throne?

    Ever heard of "The Precepts Of Zion" If this book was hoax it was a very prognostercating one. Your work here deftly describes out world in this delusional sidetrack.

    then, going to a church doesn’t make a person religious. But I do respect your view of point, you think in the way u have been shaped back then and the modern generation thinks in the way they have been shaped. “We are shaped by each other. We adjust not the reality of the world, but the reality of other thinkers”—Joseph Chilton Pearce

    Well, it’s a different time now and you have to respect that, there have been positive and negative things in all ages. Religion was experienced in a small community back in time and people would look up going to the church, mosque or temple cause there weren’t many distractions back then. Now u have the advantage to choose whether u want to go to the church or listen to a religious program on the radio or television. That doesn’t proof that people of our generation love god less then back

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
