The American Dream

                         

 

What is this dream of the land of the free

Does hard work always hold the key

Is it all about possessions ,success, and property

Or is there a deeper answer to the question we seek

Could happiness be the thing we need to achieve

Working towards enjoying life in the land of the free

Never stopping short or failing to succeed

Conquering the hard times and not resulting to greed

Gaining knowledge that no one knows but everyone needs

Laboring for the next level in life and making sure to plant our seeds

Many work for wealth to gain big deeds

Others find peace in His means

To many this dream its what they did with what they had received

So they can look back and see how they had exceed

This dream we should  make as a creed

But wait all these internal goals only happens happen, see

Just a system started before any family tree
