Critique / Analyze poem criticizing the "American Dream"?

"To where?"

We try and fill our time with useless things

And things and things

And ignore what we don’t want to see

So we build a bridge to nowhere

And the future will pass through with no clue

So we build the bridge to nowhere, to know where

And the future will have no clue.

The green is where your hands are

Being red handed only means you need spread the green a bit,

Discreetly

To build the bridge to nowhere

You know where?

And the future will pass through

Pass through

With no clue

We’re all right with it

(yeah, we are)

We’re all right with it

(yeah, yeah we are)

Big job, big car, big house, big dreams

We’ll have them evermore, won’t we?

While the less we know, the more we learn

That this bridge to nowhere is built and done

Beautiful spouse, beautiful babies, beautiful life

I’m longing, waiting, searching, looking forward to you?

We’re all right with it...

(Yes, yes we are)

We’re all right with this

(You know we’re not)

Then we watch on our screens

When some being of that future

Falters and falls

Off of

This bridge we built

To nowhere,

Not so long ago

    Digs deep.

    Your poem does.

    Into what we think to be conciousness.

    Just waking up from death.

    So, can't write more.

    But thanks for your answers.
