In the Shadows of Borderland

Title: In the Shadows of Borderland

In the shadows where hopes reside,
A tale of power, we confide.
GOP lawmakers adamantly decide,
To hold the funds, a nation’s divide.

Voices clashed, opinions raging high,
Echoes of promises that seem to fly.
Yet dreams suffer, as time keeps passing by,
Uncertainty unfolds, the years go awry.

We hear the cries of the desperate souls,
Seeking refuge, escaping chaos’ tolls.
But politics prevail, as the story unrolls,
Servitude forgotten, as compassion paroles.

Is there no empathy within these walls,
A collective stand to answer pleading calls?
Humanity demands, the heart enthralls,
Beyond borders’ reach, compassion recalls.

The clock ticks on, the funding intertwines,
Stakes are raised, where compromise declines.
In this landscape, the future defines,
Balance or chaos, a nation reclines.

May we find a path that joins us all,
Unity, respect, no matter how small.
For within our differences, a strength stands tall,
Secure the borders, but don’t let humanity fall.
