What truth beneath the old words?

Where is the truth
underlying these old words?
Words of lambs & fathers,
powers & magick,
dependence & death,
words from which
I am now repelled?
These words spoke of humanity,
of death & life,
dismay & celebration,
birthing cries & graving cries,
cries out to a larger reality,
over which our forebears
have thrown costumes
which fit themselves
as I probably am doing today
