The American Dream
By Vanessa Acosta
 

Freedom of the people,
it sounds so nice
But then I lost my house
paid late more than thrice
The corporation went bust
us peons paid the price
For their financial experiments
we were only lab mice
The “scientists” now work with Mr. Bush
see most were his good friends
So once again, from the middle class down
Its just 1 big F--k U in the end.

It sucks to know
I just didn’t count.
I’m a legal citizen but,
also Latina with a misdemeanor
so Florida threw my vote out
But now they say I’m a somebody
I belong on the front line
There’s a war on terror and
I’m wasting precious time
I should fight 4 my nation
and all that is mine.
Think of my family, but it
seems a little distorted
Because just last year
most were deported.

Its all turned into an incestuous nightmare,
when all I wanted was the american dream
I learned that Uncle Sam has a fetish for
hitting it from the back with no Vaseline!
Long live democracy.
