Utopia's Slippery Slope Continuum

Utopia's Slippery Slope Continuum 

        Trees of pink snow bloom
     by the lake when Spring is full
           Young warriors dream

                          ...

               Old warriors walk
   Through dreamless trees of concrete 
                 Modernization
