luxfelix Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 The resurgence of religion/superstition/state-worship? (Reference to carpe diem poetry as well = call to action?)

The iambic stanzas are somewhat schizophrenic, perhaps asserting the conflict of mindsets in the world today? All relevant points. I like the way you described the structure, "schizophrenic".
