The American Dream
What could be said of those who toil in the night?
That they are the poor and the destitute?
That they are the lonely and wicked?
No, this is not what we shall call them
They toil because they work for betterment
They do it in the night because they have already exhausted the day
They want for advancement of their lives
They want for security of their future
They seek to work for what they want
These people do not sit idle and wait for success to come
They sieze it!
So what could be said of those who toil in the night?
They are the future of the American Dream.
