"THE TERRIBLE SHAPE OUR COUNTRY IS IN"

(A Poem by Joe Esposito)


The partisanship is ugly as it splits our country in two
Never has it been this bad. Is their anything that we can do?
This  ideological divide poisons us and has never been sharper
Why can't we find common ground? Why can't we act smarter?

Obama's disengagement is troubling as he prefers to act alone
We prefer he deals with Congress. The hell with his pen and phone
Executive Orders should be used sparingly and most judiciously
We elected him as our President but he acts with the airs of royalty

Five years ago we were promised an end to all this political bickering
But the demonizing has increased along with Obama's demagoguing
What is with these politicians?? They never seem to keep their word
Politics in our nation's Capitol is becoming the 'Theatre of the Absurd'

We are a country that is consumed and driven by poll after poll
It measures much dissatisfaction. The antics of DC has taken its toll
Our problems of our America are becoming as big as can be
We need politicians of integrity and principle. But this is not what we see

When the interests of a Political Party outweighs those of our nation
this can only lead to tremendous discontent and much lamentation
We are becoming an increasing uniformed citizenry mired in apathy
The outcome as we can see leads to a government of scandal and criminality
