Corridors of ruthlessness careen across the landscape
Bludgeoning the thoughtless and the thankful intertwined,
Revelling in mindlessness regardless of the politics
Regardless of reaction or relationships defined.
Trammelling the consequence, the flavour and the hue
Stamping on the daisies in this field of brilliant green,
Donning now apparel of a cloak of red indifference
Caring not for criticism or if, indeed, it's seen.
Badgering so bluntly in a curdled tone intolerant
And crudely interrupting all who voice a word of blame,
God that we should dwell in the shadow of this monster
Bulldozed to submission in a rendered pall of shame.
