PAPER VOIDS


The tree has exacted
it’s revenge on mankind
for each leaf
combined into pulp

Years of growth
Years of sacrifice
Years of hope
Now ass-wipe

No value, no hype
Just 8 hour days
And 40 hour weeks
by 52

Entire years
mapped out
on landfills
of pulp
with no exchange
value


The tree has exacted
its revenge
on mankind
for each leaf
combined into pulp

Years of growth
Years of sacrifice
Years of hope
Now ass-wipe


For sleepless nights
And exam jitters
Six years of life
mapped out
In frame-like blights
And more landfills
Of paper
With no exchange
value


The tree has exacted
it’s revenge
on mankind
for each leaf combined
into pulp

Years of growth
Years of sacrifice
Years of hope
Now ass-wipe


Contracts
Voided by contacts
And conflicts
And bedposts
Of tree ghosts
that exact revenge

Lifetimes
mapped out
on landfills
of paper
with no exchange
value
