The Pursuit of Happiness?
We are littering the streets
with dreams and self-authored tales
Yesterday, I saw basketball star
behind the convenience store.
This morning Prima Ballerina
was on 1st and Main
choking on sewage in the gutter.
Crumpled up and barely shimmering
in the street lights.
We don't even notice anymore
as we drive by to our 9 to 5.
We are racing to the flimsy paycheck
that does disappearing magic tricks
and leaves us behind
the way we left President and Musician
so long ago.
We the people
have the right to pursue happiness,
but what about to attain it?
