In shadows deep, where trust once lay,
The seasoned men now turn away.
With steady hands and wiser eyes,
They’ve walked the road beneath clear skies.
But whispers grow where silence reigned,
And loyalty is now unchained.
For in the dark, their hearts have strayed,
The ones who led, now they’re betrayed.
Once pillars strong, now cracked and worn,
Their wisdom twisted, honor torn.
They plot in corners, scheming wide,
While grinning, they divide the tide.
Their counsel once, a guiding light,
Now flickers dim in veiled night.
For power’s pull, too strong to flee,
Turns comrades into enemies.
With every step, the trust unweaves,
The leader blindsided, deceived.
But in the storm, the truth shall stand—
A faithful heart, a steady hand.
Though shadows come and plans unwind,
The honest still will seek and find
That in the end, when lies fall bare,
It’s trust alone that leads us there.
