In the shadow of stories, truth mutilated
In the shadow of free thought, power incarcerated
In the shadow of mountains, waves play games
In the shadow of Sun, nocturnal beauty reigns
In the shadow of handshakes, fingers divide
In the shadow of virtue, patriarchy rides
In the shadow of lethargy, AI thrives.

Reena, this feels sharp and thought-provoking. The contrasts you draw between shadow and light bring out hidden truths, while the final line makes a powerful statement about modern times.
Much love,
David
