 The Mistress of Word Play

The State of the Union  (Delusion)


To those who feel as I do about the state of this great country of ours....












You say you have all the solutions
and live with your obsessions and delusions.
You honestly believe unemployment has dropped
and that the rise of inflation has stopped.

I don't know what planet you live on
but it seems to me those issues aren't gone.
Our education system continues to flounder and fail
and the majority of American businesses grow stale.

It's time you came down from your fantasy.
Tax dollars have never grown on a money tree.
True, you have such great visions
but delusions of grandeur can't reunite divisions.

Your stance on Iraq goes against America's will.
You belittle and veto every worthwhile bill.
Terrorists are not the most important matter.
Our people get poorer and the debt grows fatter.

You ignore issues like our economy and healthcare
and cut important programs pertaining to our welfare.
Maybe it's time you swallowed your pride and fell to your knees
and pray the prayer of our fathers and say, "Lord, help me, please."
