All the X Men Couldn't put the Dark Phoenix out...

All the X Men
Couldn't put the Dark Phoenix out.

We muffle a child's pain and a
Dark phoenix rises;
An ISIS sweeping off the lands
And raising the dead
To die again.

If our journey ends with
the annihilation of the monsters we have created,
then we shall walk the distance and hope we will understand
the demon within.

I like this. It's a confronting issue and a great satire.

It's good. I don't agree with the last part, but the rest is all convincing. Thanks.
