It came to me that I’ve been living a fallacy.

I’ve been chasing dreams and ideas learned from society.

I’ve been chasing rainbows and designing schemes,

Conversing with others on how to profit,

Thinking of ways of becoming rich!

Of becoming rich!

Does becoming rich deem me successful?

It came to me that I’ve been working and scheming to accumulate material objects,

And, at time, didn’t give a damn about those who subjectively meant more to me than object-ism, materialism, and capitalism create more isms!

Is it that I learned to love because of what I possess?

You see it everyday,

Relationships crumbling because they lack the finances to achieve

Are relationships so flimsy that bills can cause it to collapse?

Are relationships so flimsy that dollar bills can cause deceit?

How did this come to be?

I’m challenged with ideologies of religion and spirituality vs. capitalism and materialism.

My beliefs are challenged,

Beliefs learned from culturalism: my immediate environment, community and the macro society that is based on the paradigm of the American Dream!

I’m challenged and at times, at awe!

I’m bound to lose focus from time to time

Because survival to me is like America’s pastimes

Whereas hot dogs and baseball to some is like swollen feet, and empty pockets, confused minds and those that look like me are the objects to feel the wrath of my misguided induced frustrations

I’m challenged!

It came to me that I’ve been living a lie!

A lie that’s brainwashed me to believe that I have to be rich to make it,

A lie that brainwashed me to believe that those that has less is less worthy

And if my pockets are empty,

I am not equal to those that sit high on materialistic thrones:

Those that live in $3000.00 a day suites, and eat $200.00 meals, wearing threads that costs in the thousands, and wearing shoes foreign made,

It came to me that I’ve been living a lie!

The rich and famous, I cannot hate,

This position I’m in

Well, I have the strength and determination to achieve

What others have

But is that the purpose of my life?

It came to me that I’ve been living a lie!

It came to me that I’ve been living a fallacy.

I’ve been chasing dreams and ideas learned from society.

I’ve been chasing rainbows and designing schemes,

Conversing with others on how to profit,

Thinking of ways of becoming rich! Of becoming rich!

Does becoming rich deem me successful?

I’m at a age where Leer Jets and houses with tiers,

First class reservations and neon light cities doesn’t move me,

Living up to those expectations set by certain movies,

Living up to those expectations set by rock stars and beauty queens,

Living up to those expectations set by people with ink pens and marketing,

I’m aware of the schemes of the American Dream

Cause the key is to live the lie as long as you can,

But you can enjoy it, you can’t keep it and you damn sure can’t take it with you when you die!

I’ve been chasing dreams!

It came to me:

I’m rich to be loved,

I’m rich to have family and friends,

I’m rich to have a home

It came to me that

I’m already rich.
