So many songs, poems, children's stories, Christmas songs and such have political, religious, and social meanings but we do not know their purpose anymore.

The common folk could not speak openly against the ruling class so they came up with simple tunes that were actually codes for protest.

Funny thing; many of them would have been written by someone of the upper, educated class to sneak in such codes.
