The Middle Term, Illumination, and Loneliness
God offers us illumination
When there as the middle term
If we deny this profound revelation
Where then do we turn?
Do we enter the deepest shade
Lonely and painfully alienated?
This is the madness we have made
That comes from thinking sophisticated
For God in thought is the middle term
Without that we're denied reality
Kierkegaard gave us this thing to learn
We can't see life in its totality
That means we cannot see each other
Without the light divine
No neighbor can we serve as lover
In the shade all love's denied
Beneath the shades of loneliness
We like to feel our doom was fated
But we have given up such relatedness
In this Godless world we've created
We can see each other as mere obstructions
Against whom we must compete
Out of that breeds our destruction
So we use consuming to feel replete
Without God love becomes impossible
Without love we find that we are lost
All is permitted thus irresponsible
Godless vanity has its cost
