Diverting from Nature, and in strange deal
Uranus becomes Pluto and mad chore 2
He plays, deaf to universal choire
That for our peace tries so hard to appeal.
A worried Tellus makes her best to seal 5
Evil forces that she keeps in her core
So that life she can for ever anchor
While huge monsters their fissile dope conceal. 8
Krypton, a hush dog that hides in high cloud 9
Tells her when a menace comes to its den 10
Perhaps it might seem already too late...
But with deathless power from sky and ground 12
Green warriors align their efforts and then 13
Iris becomes Diana to fend fate. 14
