Shadows in the Halls of Power

By Danjuma Amodu| February 18, 2026

In halls of power, shadows play,
A leader speaks with words that sway.
Allegations rise, like morning dew,
A tale of intrigue, with secrets anew.

A phone tapped, a plan revealed,
Abduction ordered, with motives concealed.
How do they know? A hack, a breach so sly,
Government listens, citizens, don’t wonder why.

Conversations heard, whispers in the air,
No warrants needed, just power’s care.
If the top’s hacked, who’s safe to say?
The centre trembles in disarray.

Military moves, secrets whispered low,
Insiders whispers, to whom, it’s known.
Ambushes laid, terrorists on the know,
Insecurity reigns, with hidden blows.

A hero escapes, rescues delayed,
Enemies arrive, with plans astray.
Leaked whispers of prophets, leaders too,
No privacy’s guaranteed, what’s left, anew?

A nation waits, with bated breath,
Politics intense, the future’s death.
Be careful what you say, what’s stored on your phone,
Trust no one. The digital walls are prone.

A brave voice speaks, or reckless, some may say,
Allegations fly, denials in play.
But one truth remains, in this digital age,
Nobody’s safe, in this uncertain stage.
