Broken Reality

What happened to integrity and land of the free?

Instead of chasing after this so called “American Dream”

The more one ponders what this statement could really mean

One can only conclude that our consequences are unforeseen

Because now we are taught that money and fame is the way to go

But in fact, that is not so

And in our country it is all about whom you know

To get you to where you want to go

We Americans also might have everything we could need

But we keep begging for more out of greed

Then people seem never to be content so they begin to complain

But in reality it is only out of vain

Then there are men and women fighting across the seas

While families are living off the government`s schemes

What happened to working hard and earning a college degree?

Instead of getting a scholarship because you are a minority

And have you heard about No Child Left Behind

With that we might as well forget why education was even designed

Should I go on, must I say more?

Is this the American Dream you have been searching for?
