State of the Union

Washington DC is my hometown. Growing up I was always in awe of the tall white obelisk in the center of the city. It is the monument to a strong, honest, well intentioned leader with the backing of a sensible government behind him. For me seeing it was always home but now that I live far away and whole city and government have taken on a completely different meaning for me. This piece probably should be called "The State of what has become of the Union". I hope Washington, DC will change again to more of what was intended from our founding fathers and mothers.
