The American Dream
The American Dream?
2014 is here its time to file again,
as the federal government awaits our hard
earned dollars rolling in.
I can only speak for myself
but I'm sure others feel my pain,
wondering where their money went
and in what way did we gain?
Once upon a time I believed in the
American way,
and I didn't mind paying it forward
molding a future for my children
one day.
My labored contributions mean
nothing anymore,
my faith in our countries leadership
has fallen short for sure.
I once had health insurance before
Obama Care,
a penalty was cheaper a burden my
company would graciously bare.
So now I have to pay premiums
I cannot begin to afford,
and if I do refuse,
I'll be punished even more.
Yes I admit I'm angry but more so I'm
afraid,
I have no retirement plan and live only for
today.
All because the American dream my
forefathers fought to defend,
have been twisted and distorted
by democrats and republicians
we watch on CNN.
