They sold us the American Dream
then they shipped it overseas
it's the land of the free and the home of the brave
if you have money and are willing to sell your soul
go ahead chase your dreams
nothing is, as it seems
entertainment makes us numb
poor education keeps us dumb
so we don't question the lack of funds
if you struggle it will make you strong
that's their favorite song and dance
they reaped the benefits on easy mode
then rigged the game and left us alone
broken pathways with paper shields
systemic barriers treated like they aren't real
let's change the narrative
and tell some truth
you have to worship the invisible man or the invisible hand
if not, you've already lost
bought into the hierarchy
I have a chance as long as someone is below me
what trickles down sure taste funny
living in the land of blood and money

I want nothing more than to dedicate my life to writing, so I figured I would start here to test the waters. I will be submitting stories to as many communities as possible.
