The State of the Union

It's time again. 
                             That time to take a look
At all the things we think are right and wrong.
She gets out her pen to scribble her list
And its long, long, long, 
                                           as long as her tongue,
And forked, like all the lightning she spits out.
I'm not saying she's false, but she's full of it.
But, I'm sure, she'll say I'm full of it too.
The difference is this: 
                                        she is full of love
And I am full of wind and bitterness.
