A bold and brash decree
With a TRUMP AND A TALE he stirred the sea
A leader's journey, in the spotlight's gleam
Echoes of a nation, chasing the American dream

 There is no prayer for
the Middle Class
The American Dream we no longer see
We can not get the help to meet our needs
the Middle Class
Soon we will be extinct......

Trump Did Destroy American Dream

Trump thinks  he is reigning supreme,
While he did destroy American dream;
Even would scour;
Found golden shower,
And economy is floating down stream.

it waved at me
but i was not friqhtened by the gesture

the stallion red,
the flourescent white,
the unblemished blue,


now 
the lastest addition to the american dream, a newborn

in her own time will sing...

If you think what happened was too bad,
Imagine, had he been elected...
Oh four more years of him
On American dream!
Think, world's a small price paid, and be glad.

Feeling of heart got melting 
after dissoluting of pain.
Core of heart got dissoluted 
when dullness of dreams of pain.

Happiness of heart is for a while 
but sadness is for long time 
with a pain of dissoluted heart.

He had one goal, the "American dream" paradigm.
Giving his wife and kids everything but his time.
Working more and more to reach his perceived level of contentments.
He died alone, suffocating neath the weight of his "accomplishments."...

A rose bloomed.
A poem written in buds.
It offered its arms, illiterate to whats been written. 
It fell asleep. A garden in thought.
Slipping from the ledge it grew.
In REM it whispered.
Wake me when we land.
For I will have acheived my dream...

Could you blame the American dream
Plastic coast to coast
A Harlequin pawns himself
Enterprise gone mad
Ply the rebop
The spirit of 1973
Corporate Lawyer loathed to tell the truth
A confident already foretold
Fortitudes' ardour
doomed to quieten itself...

Yesterday we complained over, familiar routine
We longed for a break from the American dream
But things have, since, changed
The world rearranged 
Now complaining to walls, about life, quarantined

As the heavens sang
The choirs belted
And the birds chirped
America went up in flames.

As boots marched in lines
Towards the sea of rage
A sea of people who once fought
For the land they now destroy.
  
It’s been a long time since I heard
The American Dream....

born on foreign soil
she came through Ellis Island
American dream

she never had much
worked from sun-up to sun-down
wanting more for me

dying much too young
wishing I could say once more
"Mother, I love you"



For the Senryu for Mother contest...

the American dream.

oh...

...for it

i'll cry - i've cried, i am crying


oh...

...for it

i'll weep - i've wept, i am weeping


oh...

...for it

i'll faint - i've fainted, i am fainting



oh...

...for it

I'll never die - I am not dead, I am not dying...

A new party that will bring unity is needed
Merging Republicism and democracy
Every young person today desire change
Rising from the dying embers of the past
Inspire and show true leadership for all
Choose to remain in glory past or it future
Awake once again the great American dream...

I saw a cloud today
shaped just like smile

Then I saw it fade
became sad a while

Sitting there in wonder
I Had this Little Dream

About the lips that smiled
on a face I'd never seen

Then I heard a whisper
That I could barely hear

Telling me to smile back
So I did from ear-to-ear...

The American Dream

By Elton Camp

A real bargain in a house the couple spied

To become owners, it was time they tried

Filled out a stack of paperwork

Submitted it to loan officer jerk

The answer soon came back:  loan denied


(Are banks doing what they can to help the economy revive?)...

The Dreams… 
That human beings pursue Freedom and Happiness
That men share all of Mother Nature’s resources
That all religions and faiths practice Compassion
That land and sea disregard the boundaries
That men’s skins recoat in the Blue Earth’s color
That we can tell alien visitors: We are Earthman!
