American Nightmare

In this great Melting Pot is there really room for more ingredients? Careers New Life Education They want it all Seeking far and low To become new creations Carrying stress and pressure on behind They look and look until they find They work so hard to achieve their dreams They work and work until they succeed Working day and night with all their might Why do they do it? For the American life Rags to Riches Subjection to Success Poverty to Prosperity Paths paved with gold Opportunity lined in silver But is it an attainable reality or a distorted perception? Overworked and underpaid Overachieving yet overlooked Talked about but never listened to All for one goal One desire One aspiration Is this what they meant by the American Dream? Or is it all a nightmare? The American Nightmare
