the day they walked out
closed the door for the last time
boxes on a truck
carried their memories away
with the American dream
Open-top convertible
Zooming along
Highway 61
Dylan on the radio
Chasing the American Dream.

Pursuing the great American Dream
Juggling life-children, work and home
Justifying time away from family
Genuflecting to the Almighty Dollar
Captcha PJJG
sans geography
The USA is this world
others, planets...
Japan is Russia
Brazil is in China
China is out there...!
A bold and brash decree
With a TRUMP AND A TALE he stirred the sea
A leader's journey, in the spotlight's gleam
Echoes of a nation, chasing the American dream

There is no prayer for
the Middle Class
The American Dream we no longer see
We can not get the help to meet our needs
the Middle Class
Soon we will be extinct...
Trump Did Destroy American Dream
Trump thinks he is reigning supreme,
While he did destroy American dream;
Even would scour;
Found golden shower,
And economy is floating down stream.
Jim Horn
it waved at me
but i was not friqhtened by the gesture
the stallion red,
the flourescent white,
the unblemished blue,
now
the lastest addition to the american dream, a newborn
in her own time will sing
If you think what happened was too bad,
Imagine, had he been elected...
Oh four more years of him
On American dream!
Think, world's a small price paid, and be glad.

Safe at school
safe in the subway…
Safe on the sidewalk
safe on the street…
Safe in my home
safe in the basement…
The American dream scammed

Feeling of heart got melting
after dissoluting of pain.
Core of heart got dissoluted
when dullness of dreams of pain.
Happiness of heart is for a while
but sadness is for long time
with a pain of dissoluted heart.
Avnesh yadav
He had one goal, the "American dream" paradigm.
Giving his wife and kids everything but his time.
Working more and more to reach his perceived level of contentments.
He died alone, suffocating neath the weight of his "accomplishments."
A rose bloomed.
A poem written in buds.
It offered its arms, illiterate to whats been written.
It fell asleep. A garden in thought.
Slipping from the ledge it grew.
In REM it whispered.
Wake me when we land.
For I will have acheived my dream
Could you blame the American dream
Plastic coast to coast
A Harlequin pawns himself
Enterprise gone mad
Ply the rebop
The spirit of 1973
Corporate Lawyer loathed to tell the truth
A confident already foretold
Fortitudes' ardour
doomed to quieten itself
Yesterday we complained over, familiar routine
We longed for a break from the American dream
But things have, since, changed
The world rearranged
Now complaining to walls, about life, quarantined

As the heavens sang
The choirs belted
And the birds chirped
America went up in flames.
As boots marched in lines
Towards the sea of rage
A sea of people who once fought
For the land they now destroy.
It’s been a long time since I heard
The American Dream.
Apocryphal
Misleading
Egotistical
Reckless
Illusion
Comical
A Fool's paradise
Non-negotiable
Deceptive
Radical
Expendable
Alluring
Manufactured
born on foreign soil
she came through Ellis Island
American dream
she never had much
worked from sun-up to sun-down
wanting more for me
dying much too young
wishing I could say once more
"Mother, I love you"
For the Senryu for Mother contest
the American dream.
oh...
...for it
i'll cry - i've cried, i am crying
oh...
...for it
i'll weep - i've wept, i am weeping
oh...
...for it
i'll faint - i've fainted, i am fainting
oh...
...for it
I'll never die - I am not dead, I am not dying
A new party that will bring unity is needed
Merging Republicism and democracy
Every young person today desire change
Rising from the dying embers of the past
Inspire and show true leadership for all
Choose to remain in glory past or it future
Awake once again the great American dream
I saw a cloud today
shaped just like smile
Then I saw it fade
became sad a while
Sitting there in wonder
I Had this Little Dream
About the lips that smiled
on a face I'd never seen
Then I heard a whisper
That I could barely hear
Telling me to smile back
So I did from ear-to-ear
The American Dream
By Elton Camp
A real bargain in a house the couple spied
To become owners, it was time they tried
Filled out a stack of paperwork
Submitted it to loan officer jerk
The answer soon came back: loan denied
(Are banks doing what they can to help the economy revive?)
The Dreams…
That human beings pursue Freedom and Happiness
That men share all of Mother Nature’s resources
That all religions and faiths practice Compassion
That land and sea disregard the boundaries
That men’s skins recoat in the Blue Earth’s color
That we can tell alien visitors: We are Earthman!

The people were out of luck.
The music sucked.
The American dream
was just some evil scheme.
The world was a thrill ride
to the people who lied.
There was murder, fights,
and lots of suicide.
Nobody had any pride.
Times were tuff
and days were rough.
The president never did a good deed.
I think he needed some weed.
ONLY THE DREAMER DIES…
The arid winds steal
Our tears.
The sterile dust tease
Cystic hopes
Of dreams deferred.
At shrines of Lazarus
Visions
Beckon the faithful
Silencing
The wailing discontent:
Only the dreamer dies; the dream
Lives on.
Only the dreamer dies; the dream
Lives on.
