Dump For Broken Dreams - Broder Daniel

If we’re told we’re an asset

Why are we treated

Like a problem

And if you brake our dreams

Do our hearts not go to sleep

Like a dump for broken dreams

Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

So it feels

If we’re always discouraged

If time for us can’t be afforded

If an open heart

Gets crushed down

What then is rewarded

In this world inside a jar

Our jobs are all we are

You are like a ghost

If you have none

When they say we have no use

They must be deaf and blind

Why should we take abuse

I pay no mind

If everything’s perfunctory

Only made half-heartedly

If all is done by default

What is done from the heart

Like a dump for broken dreams

Is how this country seems

Splinters of dreams

So it feels

How come no one sees

We’re just categories

We live and die

By rank
