Nothing More Then a Lie

What a sick world we live in, for we are trying to rid; The world of our homeless and the mentally ill that's hid. We look down upon all people, who have been convicted of a crime; We say that all bikers are nothing more then slime. And if you have a tattoo, that other people can see; Then you must be a drug dealer it makes no sense to me. How can we teach our children, to love rather then hate? When all the world around us, is in such a sad state? Sometimes it makes me sad, most times it makes me cry, To think that the American dream, is nothing more then a lie!
