The American Dream

Posted on May 24, 2022 by 23moneyb

Everyone talks about the American dream
An equal opportunity
All your goals will be achieved
Like a house made of cardboard
Decorated beautifully
It looks pristine at first
But as time wears on it slowly weakens
Buckling
And eventually lays in a pile of what once was
What once was hope and aspiration for the future
That opportunity really was equal
And that goals could be achieved
That anything was possible in America
That those who did not succeed simply did not try
Survival of the fittest right?
That you were lazy and did not work as hard
As hard as those people
Who grew up with money
And had the American dream at their fingertips since the day they were born
Those people who never fought to be successful
Who were not discriminate because of their gender
Their skin color
Who they loved
Or who they were
See the American dream is fake

“the American dream is fake”

It only works for some
It is not an equation that is always solvable
Like two puzzle pieces that do not fit together
It’s not that you didn’t try hard enough
It’s just that the pieces were not the right shape in the first place
Some people just don’t fit the mold that the American dream relies on
For some people it is cursed for the beginning
To an inevitable loop
Because right from the start they did not match the part
So be grateful if the dream works for you
If you are able to walk by scathed free
Because others are trampled by things they cannot control

    I made this poem very recently. Although I love the theme I think I could have developed some of the metaphors I used more strongly. I could have ran them through the whole poem rather than just in one line. Overall, I like this poem and the message I put in it.
