Obsessed With Self Animus

How vehement his thoughts winning the realm,
so, thus venomous the success became.
Bitter —the taste of power and the helm,
yet sweet; until thy honesty got maim.

Mediocrities —get up to the bones,
devastates entrustment without exempt.
Anomie stands indelible —in zones,
solemnly results in beneath contempt.

	Animus capitalized for sole greed,
	it will scar your demeanor —well indeed.
