State of The Union Address
by tuffy-mutombo
Living in a world where we go to more funerals than birthdays
Building more palaces while people starve in the worst ways
Panhandlers occupy Hollywood Boulevard
Walking on stars while facing their nightmares
Social media created for us to hide behind our scars, while we drown in fear and tears
Government policies forged with lies
Even the blind can see, freedom has been robbed like a highway robbery, no compelling evidence so they dismiss the case, as they force feed us defeat
On the screens all you see is the life of the elite, splurging your tax money as they behind philanthropy, giving to charity while rigging the stock markets, it’s all a ploy to distract us from our purpose
Lacking consistency so we sleep with procrastination, we are a lazy nation that will believe in anything without contesting
I will confess I feel perplexed
As we drown in stress
To end up in the belly of the beast
Seeking rest, but lacking the heart to invest in time to process, victims of so many losses
This is the state of the union address
Truth has never hidden from lies so open your eyes and distress
