Judge Clarence Thomas has a big lie pushing wife.
This distraction has to matter, ’cause he serves for life.
The fact she’s for guns and against abortion
could mean he faces bouts of thought distortion.
It’s found she went to the pre-riot rally
and signed on to the fake election tally.
Can one imagine that her husband might
be swayed by her attachment to the right?
Should he be recused from some court decisions
which blatantly involve left-right divisions?
It’s hard to leave one’s private life at home
to change one’s thinking in the D.C. dome.

When Putin’s in his combat zone,
he’ll take on the whole world alone.
It doesn’t matter what the cost.
He’ll keep on ’til the world is lost.
Ukraine has him very vexed.
Poland knows it could be next.
A million refugees have fled,
husbands left behind for dead.
They’ll give an heroic fight,
but Russia has all the might.
There are tanks in Ukraine streets.
Night time bombs provide the beats.
If we dare to interfere,
Putin’s red button is near.
Nukes he’s put on high alert
could create a world of hurt.
Maybe even world war three.
Say goodbye, humanity.

The state of the union is in pain,
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.
