In the halls of power, the game is played,
Where politicians vie for influence and sway,
Their words and promises, like weapons in a crusade,
To capture the hearts and minds of those they portray.
Some speak of justice and equality for all,
While others seek to protect their wealth and might,
The stakes are high, and the competition tall,
As they argue and debate, with passion and might.
Elections come and go, with fervor and zeal,
As voters cast their ballots with hopes and dreams,
But sometimes the outcome is not what they feel,
And disappointment washes like raging streams.
Politics, the art of the possible, they say,
A dance of power, a symphony of deceit,
Where truths are buried, and lies hold sway,
And the people’s trust is often hard to meet.
Yet still we hold on, with steadfast hope,
That the voices of reason and wisdom may prevail,
And the political landscape may learn to cope,
With the challenges of our time, and never fail.
