The State of the Union

I've been embracing my cynic a bit lately

The state of the Union?

Well really, there isn’t

It’s all just a farce

To make reality pleasant

 

“Of the People, By the People”

Is heralded true

When really your lives

Are controlled by a few

 

Those corporate fatcats

And barons of oil

Who let us do the work

And reap all the spoils

 

Who buy off the brass

And govern on high

Above all the laws

That the rest must abide

 

Who pay no living wage

And increase the debt

Only out for themselves;

F**k all the rest

I'm just going to say an Amen to this one and leave it at that! Politics and greed - phew... don't even get me started.
