American Dream

Millions that cry beyond the wall

Shunned and turned away

The tired, the poor, and the huddle masses

overshadowed by the height of the wall

as hate breeds in the bed of ignorance

Our lady's torch extinguished; the beacon lost

along with Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness


The scholars drown in debt; yearning for opportunity

The fat cats get by with saying "Too Big to Fail"

The young say "We are the future"

The collectors say "No, your the profit"

You make more for selling your body

then giving your compassion, your knowledge, and skills.

What is life without Liberty and a chance for happiness.


All lives matter, shed the same tears and blood

The color, the creed, and the culture matters not

Unalienable rights, for the Cross, The Star, and the Crescent moon.

and for those without a deity or affiliation.

Walls were made to be a barrier

Bridges were made to connect people from different sides of the river.

Reject this undeniable fact, and realize

The American dream is but just a dream.
