The American Dream
i live in a world full of hatred and divison.
Where our ideas divide us.
Democrats, Republican
Hispanic or Dutch
What does it mater
When you live in "the land of the free
And the home of the brave?"
But are we really brave when we ignore the fact that we live in this world with other
Human Beings?
Human Beings who enjoy the
Rush of destruction
And the simplicity of chaos
And the joy in watching Uncle Sam suffer.
We take our moment of silence and then run away with the next story of a tragic star
Slipping into the oblivion of the American Dream
I can remember where I was when N' Sync broke up
I can remember what i was doing when Whitney Houston died
I can remember who I was with when the Red Sox won the 2004 World Series
But I can't remember what I was doing when the Twin Towers fell
And for that
I am ashamed.
