—Inferno or supernal?
Tons and tons of perilous water roaring to the ocean
Thanks to fission without vision—
Is it time to reverse the chain reaction?
Utopianism
Skepticism
Consumerism
All kinds of -ism
But where is
Optimism?
Neon god
Chat god
We are God
Who else to tell us
We are flawed?
God willing, not until
the next invention

I used to understand Xanadu as or of someplace,
Wherein the nature maiden fashion parades at her best;
I asked, later: can't this be a guild of people of grace,
Who, like angels, serves each creature, and thus, becomes blessed...?
In the works of the Missionaries of Charity, lo,
I found the answer to the question of my constant search;
Can you cleanse the decayed wounds of lepers and make them glow,
With God's grace, that goes beyond the Holy Catholic Church...?
They picked the half-dead from the streets and nursed them well,
Cared as though any mothering instinct caring for young;
Made them realize what's heaven and what, truly, is hell,
Thus, filled the oxygen of new birth in their decayed lung...!
Opting to care for such I found my Xanadu so plain,
Utopianism gave way; I, joyfully, sooth their pain...!!!
