Paper

the average man.
sitting in a chair,
never experiencing the true beauty of the earth
restricted chained
into that chair,
never leaving, following
a dream, that doesn't even exist anymore
torn down, there is no reward
in this system, why keep perpetuating
insignificant meaning
paper
green paper
i forgot the birds paid for their worms
tax their wingspan
noose their necks in unforgiving knots
tying them to the tree.
hanging from a dream
but at least the tree can turn to paper
green paper
is the bird happy?
