The Complex Game of Politics

The Complex Game of Politics

Politics, a shifting tide,
Where truth and power oft collide.
A game of thrones, both dark and bright,
Where promises fade in fading light.

They speak of change with voices grand,
Yet build their castles on sinking sand.
A handshake firm, a vow well-spun,
Yet when storms rise, they choose to run.

The people's cries, the struggles deep,
Are buried where the rich men sleep.
A land of plenty, yet so few
Taste the dreams they once outgrew.

Justice whispers, weak and low,
While wealth and power steal the show.
Yet hope endures in voices strong,
In hands that rise to right the wrong.

For power bends when people rise,
And truth breaks through deception’s guise.
A nation’s fate, though oft betrayed,
Still rests in hands unafraid.
