Sickened From Within

Why is he admired?
He is focused.
He is intelligent, young and fun.
Have you observed those in opposition?
Isn't it frightening what they have done?
And not one of them has a thought,
That is not connected to greed.
Look at them.
They have made themselves,
Sickened from within.
And appearing as if mental attention,
Is now a much needed requirement.
With a priority that should begin.
And...
'Agendatized.'
