The American dream
Has become a meme
We no longer play as a team
Things are most definitelyanot what they seem
It’s no longer peaches and cream
We’re about to rip a massive seam
In the fabric of our faulty dream
Not sure how to possibly redeem
This current mismatched scheme
But I know that I sometimes want to scream!
How can we now want to beam
to another galaxy -a moonbeam?
Feels a bit extreme
for a few individuals to reign supreme
Isn’t that why we left the old regime?
the inequalities have become mainstream
We walk around complacent …and perhaps complicit
eating our ice cream
Worrying about how to improve our self esteem
Is that really the problem?
I don’t think so say Kareem and Ibrahim.
We need a better dream
One where no lives on the street.
Demeaned.
Where one person is not deemed
More important than another.
Animal farm all over again.
We must dare to swim upstream
