Dark Ages

If in one thousand years they'll ask me
What made this one so different 
I'll say lust for purity  
And control lingered on
Only this time God
Was shaped like an 
'S' with two
Lines through
It

Very well stated, Yoni! Worshiping the almighty dollar, instead of God. Very astute observation
