It Must Be Nice

It must be nice to act out loud
And show the world of how you’re proud
Proud to live the American dream
With limitless opportunities for any esteem
Unless that esteem is made so small
By your people who wait for us all to fall
By being pressed into paper-thin size
As the cracks besides us collect our stack
You can hear the cries right before the shredded attack

Whatever happened to the American dream. You probably need to import that from China now. Still, once Trump gets going, and Greenland is annexed, the dream might be high class Igloos for all. We await in awe.
