Divine Closure?

In the pasts in which religion was a given,
and doubts were kept private
and kept out of the history books
Heaven seemed like a very real place,
where we were assured that suffering
would be no more.....

Cut to the modern world, cut to pieces
by Marx, Freud, and Adam Smith
and doubt is the currency of this age,
where the best cure for grief and doubt
is 'closure', and it is a rare experience indeed.

If Heaven was supposed to hard to enter
though many supposed they should be there,
then how much like Heaven is closure?

Both are conditions set up by mass expectation,
neither state con be objectively confirmed
for any longer than very short periods of time.

To make the past meet the present, in terms of belief
Heaven should be renamed Divine Closure,
since both are states of relief beyond expectation.
