Dream a little Dream

The American Dream was just a literary pun. Tonight as I sit and write, thousands will be marching in major cities across the United States in protest of “big financial businesses” that they feel have drained our economy for their personal greed. Yet our press down plays this situation because of upcoming national elections. I strongly believe that this is the beginning of a cultural revolution in America. The common masses do not want to budget eat while they are in pain working long laborious days for someone to sit in an office and tell the lower masses how to live.  People are beginning to wake up after a ten year shell shock in our nation dealing with “9/11” only to find that some of their fellow American’s are attempted to devour American’s. They are seeing how the “chosen financially and political savvy” have used “blind justice” against her own people for greedy means which has taken jobs, homes, and destroyed so many just striving for their “fair share” of the American Dream. In doing so there are many who amassed fortunes off the common man (some methods legal but many not.)  They gave no return or even a simple “thank you.” This has spawned much unethical behavior nationwide whereas people think they can use the law for their “pocket” pleasure for they think they own the concept of the American Dream.  Those are the men and women whose ancestors raised not a gun to actually fight for this country but a pen to take away. My ancestor’s blood is in the soil in more than 27 states starting in the 1600s. Even though it is not really known that James T Adams brought the definition of “The American Dream” to the masses in 1931, it is my definition and the definition that I have taught my children that hard work, dedication, education, and community involvement and a deep spirituality with God will get you a great return on your personal investment that no man should be allowed to take away. But we also have the understanding that nothing is permanent; this return may not always be in material objects. The return will be one of self-peace. We must realize that “The American Dream was just a literary term that I would call a “pun.” I intend to have my “pun” as a reality. We need to stand stronger than the almighty dollar in our spirit of what is ethically correct and justifiable in taking back America.
