sevenling (empire)
how pitiful to watch soulless politicians
clamor for power, grovel
for endorsements, beg for votes
we the people left wanting it would seem
for compassion, liberty, justice
trading trust for lies, vote by vote
was it barbarians at the gate caused Rome to fall, or complicity?

I’d say both… Rome collapsed internally thanks to extensive corruption… the barbarians at the gate (January 6th perhaps?) were the icing on the cake.

They all seem to have forgotten the “serving the people” element of their positions.
