Sense Sonnet - Acher

 State of the Union

The U.S. torn 'tween them and us,

And torn 'tween the have and have not.

Torn would rather cuss than discuss,

So no solution  really sought.

The U.S. is torn 'tween left and right,

And is torn 'tween the blue and red,

And torn 'tween the white and non white.

More want to tear, less want to thread.

The U.S. is torn by leaders who

Tell the truth less, tell the lies more.

What We the People know be true,

We're heading to a civil war.

State of the U.S. Union be

Helluva lot disunity.
