Wake UpLiving in an imperfect world, there is always opposition; a con to every pro; two sides to every argument; there can never be true consensus. The everlasting stubbornness of those stuck with their past racist schemas is why no matter how hard we may try, the American Dream will always remain just that: a dream. We may work closer and closer to it but never truly reach it. Same with the IM’s journey; despite going through several betrayals, he keeps deceiving himself to the point of reaching figurative and literal rock bottom, at which he now considers his awakening from “hibernation”…but has he truly “awoken” this time around, or is he still persisting in the dream that is his life?
