Status Quo
Three pairs of glasses conscience-clear will
not transform acerbic views the least today
no galaxies of magnanimous events appear
stacked end to end waiting an introduction,
no ameliorating hint of Occasioning or how
to be generously received, welcomed with
good will and situated atop selfish issues of
who’s dogmatic eccentricity is most worthy
In
their own rich words delusory mists steam,
an effluence of ordure composting vagrantly
where once compassion was – it’s here as an
instance deemed answer enough and damned
queries that face up the Status Quo will be
trashed mercilessly by its alter ego

Your poem reads like a riddle and only previous knowledge about your interest in current politics helps the reader to make sense of what you said in lines that would be to any Oracle's credit!
Yes, it is riddled with innuendo isn't it! Bit like listening to a political speech...
