Diminished

Senility lurching thru hallowed halls.
Careens at danger in lucky close calls.

We now bet on everything, even this…
On whether we fall into an abyss.

Fights for clout; instead of constituents.
Right & wrong now fully ambiguous.

Like sharks, each wicked tooth pulled is replaced.
As shown by department heads switched in haste.

Seems like a race to the bottom this fall.
When, I hope, evil slinks off with blue balls.
