The american dream

by kacy   Dec 18, 2006


The world is so decieveing
I have been told about the 1950\'s and the 60\'s of the lives use to be lived
=======================
how you ate dinner at 5
in the house by 8
and in bed by 9
========================
parents let there children run and play
no need to worry of guns knives
and the overing power of mad kind
========================
it was a good time when men came home from work and reflected on the world
we didn\'t need all of the improvement we were fine
========================
the american dream
was peace and harmony
\"One nation under God\"
forever was instilled in the minds of all
========================
from the beaches of california
through the hills of tennesse
clear to the tips of boston and maine
the american dream lived on
========================
it was the dream of the fighter
the dream of the willed
the dream of the dreamers
but now it is just a dream for all
=======================
somedays i wish i didn\'t have to dream of the american dream
the american dream would just be.
