Abstract
Advances in technology and increasingly rapid information systems have created individualistic individuals and threatened them with a crisis of morality, personality, and a sense of divinity. This crisis phenomenon turned out to be a massive phenomenon in the millennial era, recorded in poetry genre literary works. This study aims to explain the relationship between poetry and efforts to revive the sense of divinity in humans to solve humans from the phenomenon of moral crisis, personality, and sense of divinity. This study relies on textual data sourced from nine poems by Taufik Ismail. Data analysis takes place interpretively, by applying semiological concepts, according to Michael Riffaterre. The results showed these poems' messages of moral education, ethics, and a sense of divinity. Depositing this message can be a poet's strategy to manage the human mind from the various crises that befell him. This study implies the importance of the role of literary arts in the formation of personality.
