The American Dream is...Over

A lament

The American Dream-----is Over

 

 

The eighteenth century is kaput!

The nineteenth century’s shot!

The twentieth birthed the ”Greatest

Generation. The beginning of this “new” century

is one that’s best forgot

 

Americans (not all) have lost their sense

of right and with that lost, the new generation

the one this era gave birth

Will be at loss to find for themselves

what is their true worth.

 

For most believe that the Government will

fulfill their every wish, feed them, clothe them, provide for them

they need not work to make ends meet for when all

is done and said they believe in government provided

circuses and bread.

 

They do not have to serve their country

as past generations have done

That would interfere with their

“freedom of choice” soon

they will have none.

 

They have no goals, they have no

Gum shun,

their pride is all but gone

if they don’t wake up soon

of their freedoms they’ll be shorn

 

They think the government will

provide them with their car and home.

By the Eternal, won't they be

surprised when America

falls like... ROME!
