American Dream Bubble
Carmen Burgess
my country ruined
by traitors of the court.
Back off of my American Dream Bubble!
‘They’ would
keep me down
instead of up,
but I will
not submit
to hooded lies and senseless budget cuts.
Poke my eyes out!
I will still have my tongue.
Cut my tongue out!
I will still have my thumbs.
Thumbs up to the American Dream Bubble!
While Mr. Bush is busy
tearing up the Constitution,
While his folks are busy
unraveling a solution,
I will hug “The People’s” trees!
While I protect my American Dream Bubble!
I’ve cried a sea of plump guilt tears.
I march and shout, but does anyone hear?
‘They’ can’t take our American Dream Bubble!
I apologize,
to all the children,
mothers, fathers and
all the others of Iraq.
I wish each day that I
could turn time back to when sanity reigned.
Please forgive me!
I am systematically ‘dumbed down’.
Don’t hate me!
I am not the one that sheds blood on the American Dream Bubble.
