American Dream
American Dream
By Anonymous
He works 12 hours a day
He barely sees his kids
He works overtime shift
He barely gets sleep
His wife only sees him at night
Only he can handle himself
His back is as sore as a grandpa
And yet never complains about it
It’s like a cycle everyday
It never reaching its stopping point
It’s like living nightmare
It never reaches its limits
From when he ran through the desert
From when he jumped a 10 foot fence
From when he had children
To this day the future is in his hands
