Twist Of Fate

We all need to Believe that we can Change.

It is time to stop buying the Lie

If we do, where will they Sell It

Can we find a Truth to replace It

You see now that I know, I can't Fake It

Where has the American Dream Gone

What went wrong, oh, what went Wrong

You know I don't think it ever was Real

It just taught us to fight, taught us to Steal

We've been groomed to be wanting More

To consume until we can not consume any More

Where has the American Dream Gone

What went wrong, oh, what went Wrong

People selling out, changing sides like revolving Doors

They tell me we got to stay true to the Machine, what For 

It's time for us all to let go of our Minds, and find our Hearts

And in this way we will find it's time for a new Dream to Start

Where has the American Dream Gone

What went wrong, oh, what went Wrong

A few Royal Ones who find ways to suck from you and Me

They have hundreds to polish and count their piles of Money

They got us to think we could not do it on our Own

Took our power when we went along, that's how it was Blown

But finally people are seeing that they can take it Back

And in this way this world is going to find itself back on the Track

Don't you listen to those who tell you it's far to Late

Because you and me Darlin' can create a Simple twist of Fate

A couple of things: firstly, the message and the description are easy and simple which is good, so it's the imagery you are trying to evoke. Secondly, the rhythmic sequence is good as well, though it tones down by the end of the poem, probably due to longer verses and the change in structure. I do not know if it's an issue or not, but the first half remains more in the head than the bottom half due to this cadence. Overall, it is a good poem, with a good message and enjoyable.

Thank you so much for your caring enough to leave me with your thoughts on this. I think the first is a flow from source and that is always how the best stuff comes, and where you describe the drop off is where I'm thinking about it. Pretty much a lot of what I do will be refined to put into my book, Healing Passages : Whispers Of The Ancestors. You helped me to see to not just Edit with my mind, but to allow my edits to also flow from source, thank you so much. Blessings Stefano.

You know this just somes up the world today. Consumerism, Power, Greed and Ignorance. People just follow what they told. Like living in a world full of zombies. However, somehow althere are a few who break the mould who see and change themself because you can't change the situation. You can't. It's too big and more powerful to change. It's better for us to open our and eyes and see the truth and one day others will follow as the see the small changes u make. It's a ripple affect. Beautiful poem.

thank you for your thoughts. So, when we say we can't and that is True, but when we say we can that is also True. Start with the Man or Woman in the Mirror just like Michael Jackson told us. It is a lot to change ourselves, and we surely must believe and do that first. And when more and more do that then what, well all these ripples running throughout all our consciousness, what will that do. We are becoming more and more conscious with each passing day and you see it is that the Universe wants us to succeed one ripple at a time, one turning off of a light, one changing to an electric car, one move to the Subway and train, one making less trips in the car, growing our own food, allowing communities to become green, green, green. Gardens on buildings, all throughout the world people like you are waking up from the Nightmare that we have been in and realizing we can turn to our Dream and make it Real. My favorite part is where you said Beautiful poem, be Peace.
