Emboldened Shadows

Title: Emboldened Shadows

In shadows deep, a fearsome monster lurks,
A specter dressed in power, cunning, and guile,
U.S. lawmakers tremble, realizing their mistakes,
Delaying Ukraine aid, a move that may foreshadow.

Putin, the puppet master, his strings well pulled,
Manipulating the chessboard with sly expertise,
U.S. lawmakers fear the consequences unfold,
Their action a gift, emboldening his desires.

The world watches, held captive by this play,
A dangerous game of politics and might,
Will the delay empower or weaken away?
The answer remains shrouded in the night.

As Ukraine stands brave, resolute, and strong,
Uncertainty lingers, clouding future skies,
Yet hope persists, as justice fights the wrong,
Unwavering hearts yearn for truth to arise.

Emboldened shadows dance upon the stage,
As U.S. lawmakers grapple with remorse,
Let wisdom guide their choices, their gauge,
For Putin’s moves strike at our global course.
