America's Dream...

Their hair slowly graying each
day of their lives; young 
women staying home
with the kids, as the men

work to support their families. 
For a brief moment, these
men, coming home with the 
day's pay, feel like Jesus. 
                    *~*
The American dream is far
from reality. People struggling 
to make ends meet; forclosures 
and hunger are part of the 

dream. Just wishful thinking…

  1. Azarra, great imagery! I think I probably come home with 1 new gray American hair every day. Your poem is moving and truthful, as well as nicely crafted.
