Tertiary tints:

An uncommon woman and a common man
Youthful, savvy, political partners in crime
Differing in creed but united in need to plan
A path to the top in record breaking time

Amoral obsession that would not be denied
With a slogan that would get the job done
Connived, survived and thrived as they plied
Their plans as “two for the price of one”.

Along the way came and went alliances
Promises, compromises, obligations
Dalliances, disagreements, disappearances
Reversals, reprisals and retractions

Resulting realization and realignment
Adversaries and critics were liquidated
Attainment did not lead to atonement
Collaterally targeted were eliminated

Past being trapped by lobby agent
After failed spousal electioneering
Personal and political disengagement
However comeuppance in the offing

Style / type: 
Structured: Western
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Last few words: 
THE TELL-TALE HEART by Edgar Allan Poe is an apt analogy
Editing stage:

Great reference you made a piece that makes you think really good mannerisms you enfluenced. I was in tears with the last stanza you have really captured my imagination. Stay close to the pen you have a reason for being in the changing of the season.

For example, " An uncommon woman and a common man
Youthful, savvy, political partners in crime
Differing in creed but united in need to plan"
words to live by.

Thanks. Yes comeuppance is coming for those who ruthlessly targeted and eliminated innocent victims who had no connection to the twisted designs of criminal cohorts.
