    One of my favourite poems, even tho I'm far from a christian and close to an anarchist haha. I particularly love the first stanza, specifically the first few lines.

    Turning and turning in the widening gyre  
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;  
    Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;  
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,  
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere  
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;  
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst  
    Are full of passionate intensity.
