he has become a gray man in a graying world
eyes fixed forward purposefully
codified rules, missal
clutched tightly in hand
betrayed by trust
refuted in insipid halls
were learning no longer matters
unable to discern
wisdom bleeds out to folly
applauded by the mob
their gray eyes and atrophied souls satisfied
