Another politician…
Looking down …into the wishing well…
Drawn into… making the connection
Absorbed …into their own reflection…
Falling …deeper, darker…
Further, faster
Down…
Into the pools…
Tainted, by the corruption…
Before them,
Of those who’d gone
On their own weak will…
Indifferent to those
Whose blood they’d spill
Chasing sex, drugs
…and extraordinary thrills
Money, power… greed…
Surrendering their allegiance
To higher principles
Addicted to sin…
Drawn ever closer …into deaths grip
By the need…
To feed
To the degree
Of their desire
Raised, by the …cubed root…
Of their effort
…to succeed
