THE AMERICAN DREAM
Work hard.
Play by the rules.
Everybody gets ahead.
Isn't that what the Dream said?
**********
The Dream is not for you.
The Dream is for the few.
It's plain to see
It's for people like me.
**********
But I work hard, like you.
I play by the rules, like you.
I want to get ahead, like you.
**********
But you don't look like me.
You're not white, like me.
And only I can dream the Dream.
