THE END OF AN ERA:

KAY JATTA

Freud , religion hasn't withered
But government hasn't either
Amassing the flock stampeding
Politicized to the teeth
And I'm troubled by this
Be the dope of our masses
Despite Gordimer , man the technologist
Seeks a savior from a congregation
Oblivious of what's been achieved
For this species
I'm troubled by all this
Generation flocking away from the
Disciplined enquiry
When all our best are gone
That placed us at the summit of the scale
Aren't you troubled by this
War whose only casualty is the turf ?
Could this be the end of an era?
Is this the inevitable end of capitalism?
Can China even take over this world?
Not if strength is a number and a price
But a mind not
Since lost on Wall Street
In the search for a soul
I know a lot has happened lately
our means have gotten a little frugal
our global responsibilities not diminished
And I 'm troubled by this
Generations departure from the
Disciplined enquiry
For a flirtation with religion
Is this the end of our era?
Is this the inevitable end of capitalism?
When all our best are gone
that we may slide aboriginal.



This poem is adapted from an earlier poem.
