The Phantom Shadows

Title: The Phantom Shadows

In the halls of power, where voices echo,
A lawmaker finds himself in the cruel throes,
Of a sinister prank, a dangerous show,
As the dark specter of swatting does grow.

With fear gripping his heart, his breaths held tight,
He waits, unsuspecting, in the dimming light,
As shadows dance, whispers trailing in the night,
The phantom menace strikes, cloaked in the sight.

The sirens wail loudly, piercing the air,
Invasion of peace, a cruel, unfair affair,
As the weight of authority descends with a glare,
A nightmare unleashed, leaving none aware.

Behind the veil, an unknown face grins,
A puppeteer pulling strings, as chaos begins,
With trembling hands, the lawmaker begins,
To mend shattered pieces, where trust once has been.

But in unity and resilience, they rise above,
Determining to push past this act of false love,
In the face of adversity, they find strength thereof,
A collective voice against the shadows, they shove.

Oh Ohio, let not the darkness take hold,
Let not the spirit of fear turn you cold,
United we stand, with courage so bold,
Defying those evils, together we mold.
