The fallibility of the American Dream

Fallible is defined as . (of persons) liable to go astray, committing sinful acts, especially in being deceived or mistaken.

 A Poem By: Jordan Simmons 

In this world things are not what they seem in the land of mystery, the land of Babylon, in the land of the west.

The perception of reality is spiraling towards salvation, drifting further and further away, deeper into the illusion.

The elements of society guiding the righteous spirit into a dark place of solitude and making the human identity faceless, nameless, all in the pursuit of happiness, or is it money.

Every time the body awakes and feet hit the ground the motivation seems to be the all mighty dollar.

The reason we breathe, eat, live, and think the way we do or at least it seems that way.

The spirit of God in us all cries for peace and love, but the illusion of the world, blinds the spirit and the cause.

We breathe the breath of one God, we live for the glory of one God, and we are supposed to do his work, sacrificing the success of the individual for the salvation of the multitude.

The fallibility of the American dream has its hands on our necks and is strangling the life from our very spirits.

 The duel between spirituality and the american dream creates the fallibility in which I speak of. Unseen forces have a strangle hold on society and the things that we perceive as fact and Lee from True West was the symbol that understood that, while Austin on the other hand embraced the American dream and the sense of accomplishment that it can bring. The theme to take away from the fallibility of the American dream and the duel between the two entities is that the contradictions between the two are so great that the human mind continuously tries to recover and blend the two for understanding and finding the balance is what the mind cant recover to do. America strips us of peace and love because in our spirituality we find that peace and love, but the strong influence and need for a green piece of paper with dead white men on them mixed with the deprivation some experience when it comes to money creates greed. Greed will trump peace every time. THINK ABOUT IT!
