Torrid affairs
Dearth of good will
Draconian punishments
To obfuscate the truth
With ostentatious lifestyles
Prescinding from darkness
What’s love got to do with it?

I like the precise words here. I also like that in the very first line I learned a new word; “orotund” means “full, round, imposing,” a power that is evident throughout the rest of the poem.
Thank you! So glad you learned a new word. I love learning words to use in my writing!
