Blood Sport

[Johntee]

Each question a viper's tongue,

Sympathy from the stones
Distanced by proximity
Her fate, a bone thrown
By fat burgesses
Brings her down.
A Roman sport
A sport of tooth
And claw, Trussed
By net, slashed by sword,
Defeated. No tears for blood,
Stone cold, running in the gutters.

No mercies extended, deserved or no. This one cuts beautifully to the bone.

The Government of the United Kingdom briefly became a blood sport, the Press Pack tearing down Liz Truss.

I don't follow UK politics so closely, but much the same happens with the media players here in the US. If you're not the right kind of diverse...well, there's hell to pay.
