A Collapsing Yippie

It seems like everybody around me has forgotten, they're stuck on a thought again, saying alot and whining more. Preying on their own self-doubts, they have so much, yet see so little. so stubborn. Can't they see that 64 inch TV, or feel the beating of the jets in their hot tub ? They measure their lives too much, they have fallen into the "Great American Dream Sham" as my friend "Chad Williams Lowther" would say ! Its a ruse, an antidote, so they can make changes in their lives which they normally wouldn't do, because they lack the strength and insight, so they get stuck in their minds. Wheels spin, tears fall, marriages crumble and the damn kids are really suffering, cause they don't have the latest video gizmo box. Thoughtless over-reactions of self- abuse, much like an addict who is never satisfied. "The Great American Dream Sham" sucked them in, they forgot, macroni and cheese, kool-aid, saturday morning cartoons and matinees. All replaced by todays goals and desires, which are masquerading as tired souls trying to find solice, stuck in "the Great American Dream Sham" and now saying all there is to say, Hail, Hail to me and all who are free, all who go their own way and all who see though it !
