What is the American dream?
It's for us all to be on the same team.
For us to be equal no matter what race,
we all live in the exact same place,
so why should it matter the color of our skin,
shouldn't we all have an equal opportunity to win,
shouldn't we all have an opportunity to work,
even if we come from a Scottish Kirk.
I say we should all be treated exactly the same,
cause when we aren't we put all of America to shame.


The author's comments:
My piece is about how everybody should get a chance to live the American dream and how I think that people need to stop discriminating against other races and religions. The word Kirk is another word for a church. We should not make peoples life harder then it already is for them and saying racial and/or religious slurs doesn't help anybody in the world.
