American Dream Obscene

We've created a system of oppression where we pay people to oppress us.
We feed the insatiable too full while fare for the hungry seems superfluous.
We go all in in a futile game where the decks are ever stacked against us.
If we feel the drive to revolt, we're taken for a ride beneath the campaign bus.
Healthcare thrives when we fall ill but still cough up with our unfair share.
It's criminal to set free the truth, locked up for broadcasts of lawless leaders left bare.
Prime time murders for sheets of green in the streets beneath towering billionaire's lairs.
We bought up their American Dream Obscene. There's no escape from this nightmarish affair.

You are right my friend.
"We bought up their American Dream Obscene. There's no escape from this nightmarish affair."
All of us are falling into a new system with no chance of success. Powerful use of words and thoughts. Thank you for sharing your poetry and your thoughts.
