State of the Union is a National Disgrace. It’s Time to Fix This Place

State of the Union is a National Disgrace.

It’s Time to Fix This Place

Where deer and antelope used to run

Now with fear and hate is overrun

Oligarchs around the world meander

With endless war for riches to plunder

Mountains shrouded in smog

Polluters and religious zealots wag the dog

Rivers once clean and pure now stink

Dirty air to breathe and water to drink

Bridges unsafe to cross  

Infrastructure almost lost

Trains and tracks busted

Sewers and water lines rusted

World is getting hot

Climate Deniers say it's not 

Storms and floods wreak havoc 

Warmongers have the money locked

Congress tells us where to tread

Terrorists we must fear and dread 

Visions of mushroom clouds overhead 

Pretty soon we all  will wind up dead
