The State....Of The Union - Despite The President's Claims Poem by James B. Earley

America's inhumanity
....Its moral insanity
Lends hatred's voracious collusion
Uncertain the morrow
Thus chaos we borrow
The Nation's sad state of the union

Planned racial divisions
Its wounds the incisions
To the heart of a country its aim
Bigotry's intrusion
....Our state of the union
Despite The President's claims

Inequality of wealth
.....Its pain broadly felt
Disproportionately through the minimum wage
Folks pretending to care
Hence the Billionaire
Having "Tax Reform's" pittance assuage

Well we're acquainted
With the portrait that's painted
An illusion of prosperity we find
....Tidbits....to the masses
To the wealthy it passes...
Thievery...finagling the mind

.....On the cliff of our land
At its precipice we stand
A society in mortal confusion
Our Nation in bliss
.....Its mindset remiss
'Tis sordid...the state of the union
*
*
Planned....racial divisions
....Its wounds the incisions
To the heart of the country its aim
.......Bigotry's perfusion
Perpetual...the state of the union
...Despite The President's Claims
