The state of the union is very much divided,<\/p>\n

warring factions calling each, the other one, misguided.<\/div>\n
A slippery slope, no hope, no hope, and both are quite sheer sided.<\/div>\n
Two ships of fools without clear rules about to be collided.<\/div>\n
The market is our shining harbor where the rich folks play.<\/div>\n
But on the streets homes made of sheets and boxes mar the way.<\/div>\n
The dial-up universe is where the voters have their say.<\/div>\n
While there are zones without i-phones that hint of judgement day.<\/div>\n
