Plumbing the Depths

Odi vulgus profanum et arceo The common mob I have no wish to know "I strove with none for none was worth my strife" Coriolanus to the mob refused to surrender his life Seething with emotion our vulgar hordes bray In matters where cool reason should hold sway Spineless politicians give in to their senseless crap And dress in fine words their concessions to this pap Democracy has now sunk to a new low Where no demand is met with a no Morality falls apart without any taboos Soon we won't have any more standards left to lose "Anything Goes" by Cole Porter was once a popular song Where do we go when there is no longer any moral wrong?
