Resilience in the Shadows

Title: Resilience in the Shadows

On the anniversary of the deadly attack,
Trump’s words seek to reconcile,
An effort to repair, to bring us back,
To a nation that can heal and smile.

In the aftermath of chaos and despair,
Our Capitol’s sacred walls defiled,
Citizens shocked, left in disrepair,
The tragedy forever etched, not mild.

These hostages, bound by terror and fear,
Their anguish, scars hidden from view,
Though unseen, their suffering sincere,
Their voices cry for justice, anew.

But Trump’s words, a strange reassurance,
A plea to let healing slowly unfold,
An evocative call for national endurance,
To embrace unity, a story yet untold.

As darkness fades, the dawn will rise,
A resilient nation, standing tall,
With empathy, compassion, and no lies,
We’ll rebuild, one and all.
