American Dream(land)
Things could not be better here in Dreamland. Do you understand?
You have no reason to complain. We're keeping taxes down. You'll
Miss some things, but nothing that affects you much. You may
Have friends who, one day, simply disappear. Don't bother asking
Where they've gone. Just learn to love the life our sort always have
Done their best to live: apart from those who aren't like us, and walled
Off from unpleasantries. Our dream will last so long as we can
Find those who will finance it, and, afterward? Catastrophe, but let's
Not dwell on that.
