Paper doesn't bleed

Paper doesn't bleed

Not even when it's green

Yet it can consume

Like we do

And it is so greedy

All it wants is more
can't get enough

Like us

We don't even know

Why were here

What's the moment for

Except to spend

And gain

Like a virus

Green paper can kill

On its way

To consumption

And we

Like a body

Are infected along the way

Able to bleed

Unlike it

We will begin to bleed

And it won't even

Notice

Too busy while it feeds

Like an animal

On the many membranes

We decide to spend

Every day

Feeding the fire

Dying along the way
