In the hallowed halls of power,
Where voices clash and ideals tower,
The Capitol echoes with debates,
A chorus of discord that resonates.
In chambers where decisions loom,
Partisan shadows cast in gloom,
Gridlock grips the legislative dance,
A fractured Congress, a troubled stance.
Ideologies collide, a fierce collision,
Compromise falters in the political vision,
Battles waged on Capitol Hill,
As the nation yearns for a unity thrill.
Lobbyists whisper in marble corridors,
Influence peddling, a web that distorts,
The people’s will caught in a tug of war,
As lawmakers grapple on the Senate floor.
Campaign promises echo in empty halls,
Broken pledges as the system installs,
A sense of disillusionment lingers,
As checks and balances slip through fingers.
Yet, amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope,
A call for change, a way to cope,
For in the heart of democracy’s test,
There lies a chance to heal, to address.
The problems that plague, the rifts that divide,
Require leaders who stand on truth and guide,
A Congress reborn, a nation restored,
In the tapestry of challenges, a new accord.
