Tragedy
Children and families living in poverty
Holdin on to the American Dream,
But is that better than reality?
Families starving, stuck in a self-fulfilling prophesy
Societal pressure blinding us, can't see
Creates limitations that promote conformity
Kept in the dark, forever trying to attain clarity.
Forget everyone else and who you used to be
Only you stand in the way of beating the self-fulfilling prophesy.
