The American Dream Ii

the American dream. a nightmare only accessible to all the non-billionaires. a distorted vision; we are forced to taste the tangy fruits of life yet we are mouth-less. a whole culture suffering from bulimia; starved. deep wounds unique to America bringing great devastation to Americans the dreamers are being out-numbered to fate and fatality not only will we never eat but we we never eat well. praying on swollen knees for peace, for answers, for change, for the acknowledgement of the forefathers, for glimpses of heaven our ancestors weep; knowing that these dangers are more domestic than foreign - nevertheless we are not protected our ancestors weep; our vulnerabilities - the media broadcasts them for free for free.. what are all these non-billionaires willing to do - to see, to touch, to hear, to taste, to know, to cry, to weep, to faint, to be, to be free
