Does Yeats' famous poem, "The Second Coming" seem to speak to this moment in time?

Ideological division, economic dysfunction, clash of cultures, terrorism etc.etc.

This great poem (arguably the greatest poem of the 20th Century) was written after World War I.

But the grim, apocalyptic imagery seems appropriate for our time as well.
