In the Name of Loyalty

Title: In the Name of Loyalty

With twisted words and dubious claims,
Nikki Haley defends her stance.
A puzzling reasoning she proclaims,
To pardon Trump, a risky dance.

She invokes loyalty, a shield,
For any past misdeeds concealed,
But honor cannot justify,
The failures we cannot deny.

In the name of party and power,
Her arguments begin to sour.
Blind allegiance, a dangerous path,
Ignoring truth with a hollow laugh.

Is this the height of principle,
To pardon sins and turn a blind eye?
Or is it simply political,
To win favor, to soar up high?

But we must hold our leaders true,
Accountability is their due.
Their actions should be above reproach,
Not pardoned with a hollow approach.

For justice should be blind and fair,
Untainted by a leader’s glare.
To pardon Trump, a grave mistake,
A reflection of democracy’s ache.
