American Dream Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Working harder
For cuts in the check,
Some, already the loser
With more bills
And no checks.
Again, the ordinary Joes
Take the fall
For a corrupt
And thieving herd;
Most, just try to survive,
Too busy to say a word.
In emails and blogs
Facebook and Yahoo
There is some escape;
Even a pal or two.
“Community” has changed
With so little time;
Most everybody's friends
Are now those online.
Nothing good is in the news
Even the weather sucks too
With either too much rain
Or no rain at all.
The States are going broke,
The whole economy
Is circling the drain;
Can’t imagine things
Ever being the same.
It's an all out struggle;
An awesome strain...
Living the American dream
These days.
