There's No Such Thing as Unicorns
Disillusionment
The American Dream is a unicorn
shimmering and shining
and just as make-believe.
A mirage in the desert
wavering in the heat
of never ending
Slavery. Moving forward,
because that is direction
everyone else is going.
Running the rat race,
only the cheese
at the end of the
maze is moldy.
Puppets without
Voice boxes.
Screaming—
But no one can hear
over the noise
of progress.
One more promotion,
one more useless
Gadget. That will make
our lives complete.
And fulfill our
Cankerous need
to consume.
Without realizing
We are being
Consumed—
Becoming
Dried up husks
with no
identity to call our own.
