American Dream Denial

How come we only show the beauty

How come we don't show the horror

How come we only show the purity

How come we don't show the gore

We suck people in

Promising them riches

Only to enslave their bodies

With prolonged hours of toil

We say, "Come here to be free"

But in return you must be

A slave to our system

Read the fine print

America, the land of hope

The land of the brave

The land of the free

The land of pipe dreams
