Post Modernity



Post-Modernity with Spirit









Invigorate, and re-enchant

The world upon its way,-

Modernity was arrogant,

And  men felt loath  to pray,



But Post Modernity must not

What learning gained rebut,

Acquired  by the will of God

For mankind’s greater good.



Modernity, though obsolete

And being  history,

Is now replaced by stronger meat,

Called “Post Modernity”.



The humble peasant woman is

Perhaps more erudite,

Than scientists and clever whiz

That is God’s grace denied.



But Post modernity is green,

Vague, untried yet and new,-

Walk slowly in  a go-between

And untried yet a shoe.



For science and technology

Both only go so far,

Yet does not know  the quiddity,

Of planets, orbs or star.



But men does wish to penetrate

And fathom the Beyond,

And asks to know his final fate,

And hear a voice  respond.



Ah thought! evolves, and so does man,

But God is in control,

He has and executes  His plan

To suit man’s  mind and soul.



Lo! man does crave  for transcendence,

For purpose and a goal,

And boundless is the appetence

Of spirit, mind and soul.



The world of Post Modernity

Beef up  and  re-enchant!,

So that each pilgrim entity

May reach the Promised Land.



The human Spirit will transcend

Each narrative’s mode,

For man does find his final end.

And destiny in God.!

Modernity

Meta narrative = overarching  explanation of the Universe



Postmodernity

Mini- narrative = is the attempt of Postmodernists to replace meta narratives to by focusing on specific local context and diversity of human experience.

They argue  for the existence of a “multiplicity of standpoints, rather than grant, all-encompassing theories.
