American Dream
Folder:
Lyrical Inspiration Whatever happened
to the pursuit
of happiness?
It seems all we’re pursing
nowadays is success
at the expense
of happiness.
Is this the American dream:
living and dying
for more green?
We’re just machines
working hard for cash
only to trash
all we purchase
in a flash.
Our values slashed
with enough stash
to fill a cemetery.
But what about
the bodies inside
the coffins?
They’re worthless,
just corpses
with no purpose.
Flesh decaying
with jewels fading
and souls empty.
