and not just because Russia’s in Ukraine.

We still have citizens in great division,

with not much more on both sides than derision.

It seems that since the president’s election,

the right’s taken to madness and objection.

The government is locked in this stalemate,

and crossing lines untaps a spate of hate.

There’s some who still take their advice from Q,

and hate groups who’d be happy with a coup.

Just a simple infrastructure bill

triggered animus upon the hill.

And now, with Putin’s mentioning of nukes,

the patriots must rail against the kooks.

There’s even those who side with Russia still.

The right wing media’s a rumor mill.

And if the newest Justice is approved,

it means heaven and hell had to be moved.

Just saying that our union’s state is dire

steps foot into political crossfire.

The next election cycle could just tear this land apart.

The present state of union needs a definite kick start.
