Untethered Allegiance

Title: Untethered Allegiance

Amidst the clamor and the sway,
A choice emerged on this fateful day,
Rep. Elise Stefanik stood her ground,
Declining to confirm what’s yet to be found.

Democracy’s bedrock begins to quake,
When doubt befalls the choices we make,
A question lingers, whispered on the wind,
Shall liberties falter or victory rescind?

The weight of history bears down on her,
A woman of valor who dared to demur,
For in her reticence, a point is made,
That blind allegiance is not what she’d trade.

Yet clouds of skepticism gather near,
Unsettling hearts and filling them with fear,
For the future looms uncertain and grim,
Should trust in the system start to wear thin.

In the realm of the unknown, we stand,
Seeking solace amidst this shifting sand,
With every vote and every voice,
We strive for truth, making a choice.

Let not our faith be easily undone,
In this grand experiment, still freshly spun,
For united we forge this shared decree,
A nation bound by trust and unity.
