State of the Union 

Normally refers to the annual speech given by the President of the United States about the challenges and courses of action for the country.

I use the term to refer to the discussion lovers have over the health and prospective future of the relationship. The need to start such a conversation usually indicates that the relationship is already doomed.
Her: Honey, we need to talk. I'm upset with you shirking our Friday dates to play poker with your coworkers, and we haven't made love in two weeks. Why aren't you putting in the time with me?

Him: (thinking) Christ, woman. I don't feel like having a State of the Union with you right now.

State of the Union 

If we're the flagship of peace and prosperity,
we're taking on water and about to fucking sink.
No one seems to notice, no one even blinks.
The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea.

Countdown
to the very end.
Equality;
an invitation that we won't extend.
Ready, aim.
Pull the trigger now.
In time you
firmly secure your place in hell.

State of the union address
reads "War Torn Country Still a Mess"
The words: power, death and distorted truth
are read between the lines of the red, white and blue.
"Guilty" is what our graves will read,
no year, no family.
We did nothing to stop the murder of
a people just like us.

I pledge allegiance to the South of the Confederate States of America. And to the confederacy, for which it stands, one nation, under God, divisible from the Union, with Liberty and Justice for the South. 

Please rise for the Pledge of Confederacy. "I pledge allegiance to the South of the Confederate States of America. And to the confederacy, for which it stands, one nation, under God, divisible from the Union, with Liberty and Justice for the South."
