Shadows of Time

Title: Shadows of Time

In the tapestry of history’s rhyme,
Whispers of a legacy as old as time,
Nikki Haley’s words reignite debate,
As she avoids the cause, sealing fate.
Igniting wounds that wander still,
A silence that speaks a bitter chill.

In the depth of long-forgotten pain,
A nation’s soul ripped apart, no gain,
Slavery’s chains wrought a mighty storm,
Fueling the fires of a nation’s mourn.
Yet the echoes of truth lie untouched,
As the pages of history remain hushed.

Haley’s misdirection casts a shadow vast,
Averting the path to confront the past.
But the ghosts of injustice refuse to fade,
Demanding their story be faithfully relayed.
For the truth, unwavering and strong,
Can heal the wounds that have festered long.

Let not ignorance breed this divide,
Embrace our history with eyes open wide.
Acknowledge the roots from which we grew,
Seek understanding, compassion anew.
Only then can the wounds begin to mend,
As unity and empathy take their ascend.
