Here Lies The American Dream Poem by Steven Elsner

Here Lies The American Dream



Here lies the American Dream,
Replaced with sin, dashed hopes, plots and schemes.
Here lies what our forefathers died for,
What so many honest folk tried for.

Here lies what I thought was the good life,
Cut down by the blade of a sharp knife,
And knife happens to be named Poverty,
Which would explain why so many honest men robbin' me.
