AMERICAN NIGHTMARE: the dying Economy
 
Last week after the markets closed ..
 
We heard the most unearthly scream.
 
Collectively we pinched ourselves ..
 
To make sure it was not a dream.
 
 
And sure enough the scream was real ..
 
There was no doubt; it had to be.
 
It came from us, as we all watched ..
 
Our dying god, "Economy."
 
 
Yes, on the dollar bill, it says,
 
For everything, "In God we trust."
 
But that's because, to God we pray,
 
"Don't let 'Economy' go bust."
 
 
With money, and the things it buys
 
We try to fill, the void within.
 
It can't be done, but we believe
 
Without it, emptiness will win!
 
 
More money to fulfill "The Dream"
 
Has been for us, our only care.
 
Our Economy's demise, will mean ..
 
'The Dream' was just a highway flare.
 
 
Now if we all, do not wake up ..
 
And of the void, we do not learn ..
 
We'll keep our 'god' on life-support ..
 
And find our nightmare, will return. --
