day 23… napowrimo.
The American Dream revamped
I wonder what’s missing looking around at everything
The American Dream made a big pitch for
“It’s out there Baby and you go get it”
Build those dreams on all that demand
to have and hold the making of greater and lesser
things Out There, where success brands its name
in the searing want to get out there and get it all
If you make it they Will buy it
If you make it they will want it
If you dream it into being, it’s the
dream that leaves us out there
far away from who we really are
I wonder what’s missing looking around at everything
All those dreams and schemes made manifest
That we all tuck our lives into for every reason
That gives rise to the Sun everyday
Work hard to gain. Work hard to have
Work hard to make a future
Work hard cause that’s what
we do to get ahead, get there, get stuff
Get along, get stuck, get lonely
Feel a void, in the Out There
Cause It’s the Dream
If you join you’re a winner
If you Join you’re in the club
If you dream it, it’s yours
Out there, somewhere far
from who you really wanted
to dream yourself into being
What’s missing is not out there in that everything
Nothing ‘out there’ feeds the soul’s desire for
unity, oneness, love, peace, joy, creativity.
It’s just not ‘out there’ in the fraud of that
old over used dream.
“It’s in there Baby, right in your heart
so when you’re awaken to it you can
go out there and Be what you dreamed.”
