Climate of Opinion
Paradise is lost indeed,
No one knows the Nicene Creed,
Devils flourish, so does greed--
Alas the loss of Milton!
They issue forth but must return,
Demons gloat but never learn,
Thus the fires of Hell still burn--
Alas the loss of Milton!
Pride and envy, anger, lust,
Gluttony, greed, they spread like rust,
With sloth you simply need adjust--
Thus the human race's undone.
Alas the loss of Milton!
