American Dream

I am not at peace

I am

wondering when I will be.

I am not in sync

I am

thinking how I could be.

I am not here

I am

waiting to be.

I am not

free.

I am American

I am

trapped into a belief:

I deserve tomorrow, only if I mortgage today.

a simple transaction;

pay to play.

Peace

Synchronicity

Presence

Freedom —

Financed and fined.

I am American

I am

fine.
