The Resilience of Shadows

Title: The Resilience of Shadows

In lands shrouded by the mysteries of East,
Lies a faction strong, with timeless beliefs,
Houthis arise, guardians of Yemen’s soul,
Defying hardships, their stories untold.

From the rugged mountains, they command the night,
Guided by stars, cloaked in shadows, they fight,
A line etched in sand, their resolve withstands,
Against oppressors’ might, they make their stand.

Yet whispers persist, questioning the void,
Why does the US hesitate, avoid,
Reprisals for ships ravaged by their hand,
A tangled web, where powers and interests stand.

The world’s eyes wander, searching for a clue,
Behind the veil of silence, what is true,
Political intricacies, alliances made,
Willful blindness veils a charade.

Strategic calculus, geo-political stage,
An intricate dance, both fierce and sage,
The US awaits, cautious yet unyielding,
Calculating moves, their intentions concealing.

Perchance it’s wisdom, an alternate plan,
To quell the storm, where none but shadows stand,
The Houthis, the US, threads in a tapestry,
A complex dance, steeped in history.

In the realm of shadows, battles unseen,
A timeless struggle, where truth convenes,
The Houthis rise, defiance in their core,
And the US ponders, to retaliate or restore?
