In Brazil's shadowed past, a tale now told
Two politicians and a chief, a grip they hold
Arrested for a cover-up so dark
Marielle Franco's light, a remembered spark

Senator Lisa Murkowski, a voice in dismay
At Trump's candidacy and party's sway
Bolting from the GOP, a choice unclear
In the political dance where truth is near

Senegal's election, a victory swift
Bassirou Diomaye Faye's leadership shift
Released from prison, ten days ago
A nation's fate in the winds that blow

Pope Francis, a figure of grace and light
Skips his homily in the Palm Sunday's sight
An unexpected moment in the Vatican lair
As prayers and reflections fill the air

Senator Lisa Murkowski, a voice in dismay
At Trump's candidacy and party's sway
Bolting from the GOP, a choice unclear
In the political dance where truth is near

On Carnival Freedom, a fire's blaze
Extinguished after lightning's craze
Witnesses' eyes on the ship's stormy fright
In the heart of the sea's darkest night

From Brazil to Senegal, and Vatican's halls
A tapestry of tales, where destiny calls
In the world's stage, power and plight blend
In the echoes of headlines, truths to mend

Senator Lisa Murkowski, a voice in dismay
At Trump's candidacy and party's sway
Bolting from the GOP, a choice unclear
In the political dance where truth is near

Arrests and elections, faith and fire
In the rhythm of life's grand choir
From darkness to light, and shadows' might
In the ever-turning wheel of day and night

As the melodies of news fade and wane
In the heart of stories that still remain
May hope and courage light our way
In the journey of a brand new day
