America keep dreaming

by karambitties

Waiting for a drop to trickle down while these cunts on top drown. The 1% fucked up the whole ratio got people breaking their backs like auto-fellatio. Just to make ends meet.   Like Ricky, he was working towards that American dream but behind the scenes life was coming apart at the seams all because of a fault of his genes. Uh-oh Couldnt afford insurance, and there all his savings go. Spending eighty thousand dollars on pill that MIGHT save his life. But wait, what about dear Ricky's wife? She was right there by his side Watch him rot for months 'till the day he died now she's empty inside. Forced to swim in high tide with no buddy. She can't cope, even with that hollow feeling she can't float Starts sinking deeper in the drink. Thrashing in the dark with lungs burning there's no room to breath. Foreclosure notice on the door Say her and the kids need to leave. Back to the grind with no time to grieve. Just another cog ground out by the American machine. So fucking much for the American dream.

Notes

Just the ravings of a weak minded, socialist, anarcho-commie, long hair, looking for a hand out like every other bum.
