Is God Dead in Modern Poetry?

The 20th century brought hopeless feeling through the spread of the industrial era and the fact that humanity became the creator of their world. Not only the workplace, but the world is becoming more and more mechanized. Life style, ideas, even religion will be mechanized. This is related to the so-called "Death of God" of modern times and contemporary poetry. Humans created their worlds like God; as a result, they became increasingly inaccessible to the natural world of God surrounding them.

When Friedrich Nietzsche said "God is dead", he meant that the traditional structure of God was dead in modern society. Although the view of the world of materialism was an ideology for a history of more than a hundred years, this is somewhat prolific, after Nietzsche's statement, the mainstream religion is still a major part of Western culture. "This is a confusion, in order, in confusion, in higher orders.The most reliable order is the most immutable order, this is not necessarily the most visible order.The observer seems to be invisible from the tree This tree can make him ignore the forest. "- Jordan Peterson

The phrase "God is dead" is not alone, but usually comes from Nietzsche. Neitzsche's view was not a personal view, but at the end of the 19th century the recognition that God did not give moral or structural order to modern humans. Enlightenment and the Industrial Revolution claimed rationality and technology beyond superstition and simple life. Scientific observations of the universe, nature, and mankind have replaced the traditionally accepted ideas that will bring benefits to God, which leads to the mechanism of creation. However, due to scientific progress, the rise in the index of technical complexity directly resulted in the reevaluation of the human status in the world. This confusion supports the emergence of many individuals and political systems that attempt to bring new order into confusion. In other words, can the new system replace the god that does not exist?
