The American dream
Is no longer a loving family
And smiling maid keeping things clean
Behind the scenes
But an addiction and affair convincingly hid
From your children
Closeted with the tapestry
Of your stagnant dreams
A maze of malnourished mice
Promising no reward of feast
Only the artificial scent of food
Somewhere just out of reach
As you enviously scroll
Through lives deceptively at peace
Playing a constant game
Of emotional catch and release
Force-fed a whitewashed, blue-eyed
caricature of a Jewish man
Leaving blonde hairs
On a well-manicured cross
Left to the mercy
Of greedy gods
In well-pressed suits
Promising they’ll let him save us for a cost

If every person who visited this site so far had left even just $1, I could pay my bills for two months at this point.
Never think throwing a single at me here and there doesn’t make a big difference.
