Pickwickian ... Question

Today's word is "Pickwickian" ... pik-WIK-ee-uhn ... (of words or ideas) meant or understood in a sense of different from the apparent or usual one. (dictionary.com)

Question
In this Pickwickian universe,
It's hard to see at all,
What couldn't be the reason,
For man's spectacular fall.

Lust or greed or envy,
Gluttony or pride,
Sloth or massive anger,
All travel side by side.

To destroy this company,
And triumph in the end,
A power beyond imagining,
Must into our world blend.

From this mundane perspective,
Perhaps healing will infuse,
And give a plethora of reasons,
For us to see and use.
