A Dream
Digging
Digging
Digging for our dream
Sweat pouring
Stinging the eyes
Blurring the vision
But not the goal
Undeterred we toil
Through the smell of blood and despair
Our heads bowed in homage
To the God we sacrifice our youth to
In the hopes of being rewarded
Begging to be heard
We look to the skies
Heavy with rain
Yet remains as
Unobtainable
As our dream

Hmmm....from this piece, I feel this God's name is "Work"? If so, I totally relate *sigh*

I was actually thinking of the American dream (greed) when I wrote but work is implied. Thank you for reading. Stop in any time.
