The ‘American Dream’
I am trapped inside an ‘American Dream’.
There is no end to this,— it seems.
Lead the good life the ‘American’ way.
A chicken in every pot. The freedom to pray.
It has all gone up in smoke.
Basically, a pipe dream. A real joke.
You can wish & pray & work till you’re blue.
There is no ‘free meal’ coming to you.
Only, if you are an illegal alien on welfare.
Then, there may be something there.
Provided to you by those who are working hard.
Still hoping their ‘American Dream’ isn’t marred.
Now, their Social Security is no longer a right.
It is a privilege, provided by a government of spite.
The ‘American Dream’ is dead and gone.
Where in the hell did we go wrong?
Was it no longer being a country ‘under God’?
Remember,—- He rules with an iron rod.
Maybe it was the new attitude of “let the rich pay for it.’
Wall Street marches to back their belief in this s—t.
If the world owes you a living, you must be a grasshopper.
The ant is the one who works hard , ain’t that a stopper.
If enough people miss the ‘American Dream’.
Maybe they will raise up as one and let off steam.
Let it be known they don’t like the way things are.
They should be taking the country back. Raising the bar.
Start proving that the ‘moral majority’ is NOT neither.
It is what most citizens will fight for without a breather.
Show that Democratic Yankee know how is not imperialism.
It is the way things should be, though it seems few will listen.
BRING BACK THE ‘AMERICAN DREAM’!!, is the marching song.
Hopefully, this country will be great again, before too long.
