I feel like the poem is consistent in the message It's trying to impart upon the reader, and I like the way the imagery puts me in the heart of this vile world where everything is seedy and corrupted. I got the feeling that 'underworld' represented earth, beneath the heavens. Like we've strayed indefinitely from the path of righteousness. Normally I would agree with Ribo, and say that the term Underworld was a bit exhausted from overuse, but given what I perceived to be the divine context of the poem, it spoke to me on a different level, and seemed to fit just fine, if that's what you were going for.
