The Zeitgeist Train
The Zeitgeist train is moving on,
Dropped at this station, now it’s gone;
At “Church Renewal” (station here)
I joined that task, to us so clear.Next station down the road it seems
Was gender – sex – and mind that’s clean;
Obsessed they were with that one fact,
A breadth of scope is what they lacked.But now, behold, the Zeitgeist train
Has moved along its tracks again;
“That ‘Promise-Keeper’ stuff? No way –
That issue’s yours – it’s now passé!”So what’s their focus of concern?
What must new generation learn?
The answer from preceding task
Is where they stand to question ask.But that’s not seen as clear today –
Sex finds relief third-culture way;
Third-culture rose from justice scorned,
Despite the words that group adored.And justice issues flowed back to
The war with its conflicting views;
And so on back to Adam’s tree –
What need will pre-millennials see?My guess? It’s jobs – economy;
It’s “Occupy the park – so greed
Gets stopped, and we get cut of cash –
‘How that’s best done?’ is what we ask.”navigation
