Greed is too Heavy in Humanity


Bones bones bones
Snap and crackle
Their pale white splinters
As they break under pressure
Our desire has caused this
Birthed this weight
Weaving it out of our greed and desire
Forcing us down further and further
Till will double over
Till we are pressed flat
And until that very last ounce
Has made paper from our bones
