Benevolent Malevolence

There in the mire lies the vista of a situation dire
One that was once sanguine, now utterly unseen
For the promise of this site has come to tire
Of the trauma undergone, of the completely obscene.

No longer rakishly radiant; it is simply salient --
But for a modus operandi unworthy of its conferee
Having lost its earnest resolve, now a deleterious gradient
A nugatory future it does indeed guarantee.

Good riddance to what you termed
