State of the Union

I've been watching these two groups lately, Left and right & all those between. Where resolutions appear adrift or absent, And legislation became downright mean. The battling and the bickering, seems to be Creating fear all along to blame. While moderation and discourse through debate, Has fallen painfully, only to face shame. As this nationalism is bantered about, Extolling the revered, capitalistic way Only to 'trash talk' anything socialistic, As if the demonic would come out to play. And forget anything of a brave new world, As globalization is fought and ignored. Because that one world government might Loom closer to some, & we know how that's deplored. Yet we have also witnessed a dismal harvest, When seeds of distrust finally bore their fruit. While some felt it added to our greatness, More saw only failure that was absolute. Since our greatness isn't defined by the irrational, Its definition lies with opportunity & equal chance. So as we feed on our roots of diversity & fairness, Our growth will be the fuel to romance.
