The American Dream

Flowetry of my perception

It's true that they say money makes the world wrong

But listen in and see just how rediculous that sounds

It's only true because we choose to let ourselves believe it

It's only true because we've chose to let ourselves be it.

 

We let greed and selfishness take over our souls

We let the earth decay into a giant black hole

and the worst part is, is that we're not even trying

To reach the light from the dark from the tunnel we're inside of.

 

It seems that our society needs violence just to function

Can you blame me for complaining about the human destruction?

We as people can't differ from what's fake and reality

We've forgotten all our morals, and our common humanity

We smile to your face, and then stab you in the back

We laugh and degrade you if you have intellegance we lack.

 

By we, I mean you, me him, and her, it's everybody's fault for this God forsaken world

And when we rest our heads we look to God and we pray, for a better tomorrow

We ask forgiveness for today:

 

"Please help me Lord, for I have sinned, I've lied and I've cheated, I hurt others to win. I think about me before anybody else, but I just want a chance at that good, GREEN wealth! I want to be rich, You know I want to be respected, and all my insecurities no body will suspect it or detect it, because I don't reflect it...And listen to me Jesus, I know this all sounds bad, But if they all could see what I truly am...I'd live to nothing more than the common decent man...".

 

The American Dream means looking out for yourself

Survival of the fittest is the coldest state of health

Deep down I know we know what we really have to do

But no one wants the burden of truly caring...Not me, Not you.

So lets all pretend that we've been ignorant to what's been dealt

And once again, let history repeat itself.

Author's Note

What do you think of my poem as a hole? does the diologe in the middle of it seem to break away from the rest of the poem's flow?
