America's Dreams

 

We’re America’s failed dreams;

Working two retail jobs

While our kids are raised

By a 10 dollar an hour college student

Failing classes and late with rent.

 

We’ll see a Norman Rockwell painting

In a main street diner

And wonder if Budweiser or crystal meth

Killed America’s dreams.

Woah! Harsh ending! Very nice job. :) I love your poetry. My favorite line in this one is the end of your second stanza.

Good Point!!! I understand what you mean. Our dream has fallen due to lazy people in our society!

I'm saving this!!
