I address this to not only the people of the United States of America But also to the people of the world Whether they live in Japan or Liberia Italy or Turkmenistan The state of our union sucks a**! How does it suck a** you might say Well for one we have half of this country sitting on their lazy butts They contribute nothing and consume a vast amount of our tax dollars They get free health care and care nothing for their health They get free food stamps and spend it on food devoid of nutrition They live in free housing but their neighborhoods are death traps Full of violence and all sorts of immoral behaviors The other half who choose to do what is right What is their reward? Higher taxes and stagnant wages They watch while the CEO's make over 400 times their salary The Federal Reserve continues to print money That does not have the backing of gold to make it worth something So the dollar continues to plunge And the real wealth of the average American goes down with it as well They have to work overtime not for fancy luxuries But to pay the bills and try and scrape by Our infrastructure is a rusty mess Our schools are the laughing stock of the world Teachers who get absolutely no respect from their students or their parents On a positive note We have the greatest military in the world At least we're good at blowing things up!

About this poem:
Just pretending what it would be like to be president, just pretending of course because I wouldn't want that job for any amount of money!
