A Gilded Question

Title: A Gilded Question

In the realm of politics, a test arose,
A query that left the mighty tangled, dazed.
A town hall event, where a question spoke,
And in its wake, the echoes left amazed.

Ensnared was the president with words unclear,
As a simple query dug into his thought,
The quagmire deepened with each fumbled phrase,
And truth, elusive, further he sought.

In the rhetoric of promises, a twist,
A momentary stumble on his path,
The question shot like arrows, swift and true,
Revealing cracks where confidence once hath.

A spark ignited in the captive crowd,
As silence whispered secrets round the hall,
The query, an ember, grew into flame,
And soon the political facade would fall.

A lesson learned, a revelation gained,
In this town hall, where truth unsheathed its might,
For sometimes, questions have a quiet power,
To pierce the armor, shed revealing light.
