The State Of Our Union Poem by Lauren Kjar

The state of our union is a state of confusion
Card tricks and redirection
Our deck has been set
From years of neglect
Towards a rapidly growing infection
A country divided by the narrow minded
Leaves the rest of us discontent
The topic of guns
Inspire loose tongues
What 'the right to bear arms', really meant
Those that represent us will only prevent us
From letting our voices be heard
When the highest bidder
Is all that's considered
Democracies only a word
