AMERICAN DREAM
Dozing watchmen
Asleep at the wheel
Sweet slumber of indifference
Sedated proletariat multitude
Whacked on narcotic apathy
Stagnant spirit
Insipid eyes
Blank stare of nihility
Anesthetized sting
Haunting sonorous moans
Deaths knell of tortured subsistence
Mighty military machine
Arrogant vision of world dominance
Drunk on wine of aggression
Direct repercussions
Synthetic American dream
Mirage of freedom and success
Nightmarish phantasm
Stunned commonwealth
Bereft bourgeois
Controlled by aristocratic puppet bureaucracy
Prostrate prey
Devoured
By insatiable power behind the throne
Deceived denizens
Tumble blindly
Into the void
“The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that sayeth in his heart, Who shall bring me to the ground? “
Obadiah 1:3
