State of the Union (ATTN: Span Required)

2 min readJun 29, 2022

Coalescing dissidents

Fundamental disagreements

Recurring incidents

Abortion rights

Meets twerking?

Shit isn't working

Ladies

You have more agency

Then just your body parts

Nothing's in store

Pickets in shopping carts

The law of the land

Drawn with a hand

Instrumental

Movements

Drummed up with a band

What's planned?

Private-sector assistance

Short-term resistance

Commanding more pages

Citizens

Withstanding poor wages

If a company points one way

Look the other

Economy bombs

Duck for cover

Simply a con to me

22% of hourly workers

Seeking payday loans

Systems sinking

Mayday

Bones

Finite game

Reckon

With Tekken

Best two out of three

Acquainting with rising Phoenix

Fire & high-top scenic(s)

Ending all in one round

Sequel to capitalism

Fade to black

With one sound

Send the King in

Armored too

Government response

Jack 2

See what Satoshi went through?

Can't escape the crypt

Though,

Pummeled by Yoshimitsu

Dogs went mad

Bryan Fury

Kawhi

Laughing & scolding

Hwoarang

Alakazam

Ala-Kazama

Still feeling

Capitalistic trauma

Pouring out sin

Living within Jin

Keep the mind steady

Bounce to positive vibes

Like Eddy

Game's over

Open the microwave

Pop in Stouffer

Arcade or quarter water?

Can't afford

Care for son or daughter

Bridge card drained

Hyatt Regency Walkway

Maintained

Total collapse

Fucked for so long

Total prolapse

Free from constrain

Free to complain

What does this melting pot

Contain?

Violence

Introspective silence

Politicians campaigning

Women camp-paining

Sent to the past

Equipped with suture

Back to the Future

Wounds left unattended

Reality upended

Democrats and Liberals

Require lucidity

Blue city stupidity

Extending across the aisle

Eyes bloodshot

Seeking

Validity

Stream of consciousness

What’s conscious?

This

Aim for the mark

The ‘conscious’ miss

Delivery for the stark

Told

Dumb it down

Slow it down

Ease up

Plant seeds

Wait

Trees up

High as the eye can see

Serious about change?
