American Desi...

And here goes another dream
Meant to turn a poor man to a millionaire
Exploited by the lure of the filthy lucre
Reached american shores with a fluttering heart
Inside a burning passion
cursing his own mother 
Agonized by the poverty
Now he dreams big .....

Dreams can be turned to reality from  your home
Running away from the reality is not the work of the brave
Earn for yourself not just  success but  also the respect
And it will pay back
Mother's love is unconditional,unreserved,undying.....

    Welcome to Allpoetry and thank you for entering the contest

    This is an interesting piece. I believe the last line makes reference to "mother land" and thus you are saying that there is no need to go elsewhere to find the end of your dreams, only work where you are.

    Well done.

    Welcome to AllPoetry

    I think this poem has real potential. The repetitions don't do anything for me and the second stanza is a bit too preachy, but I really loved the first half, how it's not too obvious but it is to the point. I also like the connections between your stanzas - for instance, the parallel between "cursing his own mother" and "Mother's love is unconditional,unreserved,undying". Here I'm left wondering if "mother" refers to your country. I also find myself intrigued by your title, how you have not finished the word "desire". That can be interpreted in so many ways. Good luck in the contest.
